Chili, with a side of ERP

by

We all know someone who is very particular about their chili.

Beans or no beans? What’s your preferred spice mix? Chives or onions on top? The shredded cheese choices alone are enough to make your head spin.

You face a similar scenario when you’re in the market for ERP software. The sheer amount of options can be daunting. Just like chili, you start with the solid base, and augment your choice to make a tailored solution fit for your business.

Do you want a proven solution with decades of experience? Industry expertise? Both on-premise and cloud capability? A strong partner ecosystem to increase functionality and maximize your ROI?

Dynamics GP includes all of these and more, making it an excellent choice for the small-to-medium businesses to streamline their business process and garner more productive workdays.

So what’s your recipe for success?

What National Programmer’s Day Means To Implementation Specialists

by

Happy National Programmer’s Day! Today, the 256th day of the year is Day of the Programmer. 256 was chosen because it’s the number of distinct values that an eight-bit byte can represent. Clever, don’t you think?

This day was chosen to honor those who have blazed the trail of programming. Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Bill Gates, and countless other unsung and unheralded computer scientists have contributed to the ever-evolving skill of programming.

Our knowledge and skills at Implementation Specialists reflect this ongoing evolution of technological advancement. Originally, IS started with modifying and enhancing Dynamics GP modules in Dexterity, and have since expanded into developing solutions for KEY2ACT, Dynamics Navision, and much more. With our knowledge of Dynamics GP, we have also built our own suite of products, called wsTOOLS, for both GP and KEY2ACT to optimize their native capabilities. With over 20 years of experience, our talented team of developers can create solutions to complement your business specifically.

The next programming breakthrough for your business is on the horizon. Implementation Specialists can help you get there.
