Microsoft Dynamics SL at a Glance
Microsoft Dynamics SL is designed to meet the specific business management needs of project-based, service-driven, and non-profit organizations.
Microsoft Dynamics SL works with and like other Microsoft products that you already know. That means people across your organization can use skills and products that they already know— like a web browser, Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, or SQL Server —to access and communicate information managed within the system.
Dynamics SL is the only Microsoft Dynamics product with a direct interface to Microsoft Project Server, allowing organizations to benefit from the power of Managing Resources, Tasks and Budgets directly from Microsoft Project while maintaining the tight link to the back end accounting systems most firms require.
When combined with Microsoft SQL Server technologies, Microsoft Dynamics SL also consolidates data across applications and platforms, which can then be extended into tools such as Microsoft Business Portal or Microsoft Project. This ties together all of the information from the back end systems with the front end web-reporting and project management systems, providing access to users anytime.
As a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner, Brittenford Systems has the expertise to tailor the Dynamics SL Interface and core accounting functions to your need, and integrate it with your other operational and financial systems.

Integrate Project Management & Accounting
In addition to providing applications for financial management, payroll and e-business, Microsoft Dynamics SL helps employees manage complex accounting and project management from a single interface. For example, you can create flexible, tiered hierarchies to reflect different labor rates and billing structures on the project management side. You can then automatically allocate the appropriate charges and revenues to the general ledger.
