Conversion from Lawson to Dynamics GP: End-User Explains Why They Made the Switch

RSM McGladrey recently completed a case study with a regional staffing company converting from Lawson to Microsoft Dynamics™ GP. Conversions from a Tier One solution to Microsoft Dynamics™ GP are becoming more popular.  Tier One systems like Lawson, Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP are being replaced with Dynamics GP by large companies who realize Microsoft Dynamics GP can adequately support their needs and offer them the capacity for growth without the costly price tag in annual maintenance fees. 

However, the recouped fees were only one part of the solution’s attractiveness. Scalability for this growing company was a main concern when considering any replacements for their Lawson system.  The new system would need to handle a capacity double or triple  their current size and easily manag their projected two year growth of $70 million. Dynamics GP easily fit the bill.

Another perk to the Dynamics GP solution was its flexibility. End-users found the same features and functions exist as in Tier One solutions. The staffing company provides their clients with customized invoicing; it is easy for them to give their clients what they need and how they need it.

If you are running a Tier One solution, contact RSM McGladrey for a needs assessment.  We will evaluate your current system and demonstrate the benefits of converting from a Tier One to Microsoft Dynamics™ GP.
