Executives from all industries are keeping a close eye on the economy these days. While the Canadian economy seems to be recovering, there is no collective sigh of relief in the US.
So while some companies “hunker down” and reduce all expenses, leading companies are looking to invest in technology according to the following strategies (source Aberdeen© Reports):
- Streamline and accelerate processes to improve efficiency and productivity
- Standardize business processes
- Optimize the use of current capacity (both personnel and equipment)
- Provide visibility to business processes across functions and departments
- Modernize technology infrastructure and applications
In times of economic turmoil, those companies that invest now in preparation for a turnaround are more likely to outperform the competition after the recession is over.
Many companies are turning to “hosted” or SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions to reduce the capital expenditure typically required to purchase Enterprise software packages. Our strategy has been to support both implementation methodologies, On-Premise and Hosted. The Hosted solution can reduce a Client’s investment by over 60% and accelerate the ROI dramatically.
The software acquired as a Hosted solution is identical to that of the On-Premise solution.

I encounter prospective Clients every day who ask me: why?
- Why do I need a new system?
- Why do I need to invest in new software?
- Why WebSan?
I cannot come up with “one-size-fits all” answer for everyone, but what I can tell you is the following:
- Companies that leverage Enterprise software to run their business see a significant improvement in their financial performance. This can manifest itself operationally in many ways, but typically it’s a reduction in outstanding Receivables, growth in operating margin and lower overhead resources in the Finance and administration departments.
- According to a recent Aberdeen© report, best in class companies saw:
- 22% reduction in operating costs
- 20% reduction in administrative costs
- 17% reduction in inventory
- 19% improvement in complete and on-time delivery
Organizations are always looking to be more competitive and reduce costs. A solid investment in technology with the right Partner can make all the difference in the world.

Service calls can now be escalated to additional managerial levels. The Service Type Escalation window has been modified to include a new Manager Level field. When a call is escalated, an e-mail to the technician’s manager is sent. This can now be sent to two additional levels of management directly above the technician’s manager. One can specify the number of levels to e-mail, including:
- The manager of the technician on the service call
- The manager’s manager
- The manager of the manager’s manager
The Service Call Escalation window also now supports multiple technicians for each call.

Users of US Payroll in Dynamics GP will love the new integration points from other modules within Dynamics GP.
One such integration point is with the Field Services module. Direct & indirect labour postings that create Payroll transactions can be made in Service Call Management & Depot Management. This integration allows for Payroll to captures the cost from the employee’s pay code into the labor record in Field Service.
A Post to Payroll check box has been added to the Work Type Maintenance & Depot Station Maintenance windows that when selected, enters the value from the window’s corresponding Pay Code field, representing an hourly pay code.

The Service Management module now allows for processing of Kit Items. When a kit item is entered in the Service Parts window, the kit’s components are added automatically to the Service Line table; although, they can be deleted if necessary. Note: the quantity ordered cannot be partially allocated. Through the Service Management module, POs can now be created for kit component items on a service call.
Kits can also be entered in Returns Management, Preventative Maintenance, on Contract Lines, or on the Parts line for Depot Management Work Orders.

The Item Resource Planning, Site Resource Planning & MRP Order Detail windows have all been updated to incorporate a ‘Move Out’ fence. The new logic allows for rules that determine if & when to suggest moving or canceling a purchase order or manufacturing order. A Move Out is suggested when an item’s Projected Available Balance will be greater than the item’s Order UP To Level.
As GP calculates an item’s Projected Available Balance for a specific time period, MRP will include supply order moves & cancel suggestions that impact the quantities occurring in that time period.

In previous versions, users would be able to view the module’s Navigation Pane regardless of whether it was used or not.
In GP 2010, Administrators control which Navigation Panes are available to users and which are not. Unnecessary navigation buttons can be limited at the user or at the company company level.
Again, join WebSan in our upcoming GP 2010 Webinar!
