Unlock the potential of your employees

Accelerate productivity across your business by providing employees with immediate access to business applications and to updated, accurate information so they can make better decisions faster.

Take the hassle (and expense) out of common tasks

Timesheets, expense reports, requisitions, and other tasks can be delivered through the user’s Web browser, reducing the time it takes to manage these processes and eliminating related paperwork and data re-entry.

Reduce information support costs

By opening the flow of useful business information to your employees, you’ll reduce the endless stream of requests for custom reports and the countless calls for simple business facts. Free your IT, accounting, and support resources to help drive your business forward.

Share business information with customers and suppliers

Work more effectively with customers, suppliers, and other business partners by granting secure access to business information such as order status, inventory levels, and payment data.

Expand the uses for your portal

Provide access to information stored in other systems and Web-delivered applications, and use the role-based framework to deliver the right information to the right people.

Begin benefiting right away

Out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft Dynamics™ GP delivers immediate access to customer data, inventory queries, purchasing reports, and other information as soon as you assign access rights to your users.
