Dynamics SL and the Government Contracting sector  

Dynamics SL is a great fit for the Government Contracting organizations due to the depth of strong project management capabilities. While attending the Microsoft Government Contract Summit in December, several SL Partners provided presentations showing how SL can meet the rigorous reporting, audit and compliance demands of government businesses.

A recent article published in "WashingtonTechnology" (a magazine for government contractors) provides an interesting analysis of the market, Microsoft's plan to go after a larger share of these businesses, and a discussion on how the  Dynamics SL and NAV products match the needs of this industry. Deltek, the largest  software vendor serving this sector today, states that Dynamics SL is the closest fit to what they offer with their proprietary system.

Specifically, detailed cost accounting is required for businesses that have commercial as well as government services, strong project management to track contracts, complex fiscal reporting needs with analytical/business intelligence tools and ability to meet government regulations are some of the key requirements in this industry.  Dynamics SL offers both strong accounting capabilities and in-depth project control to meet the needs of this industry, plus offers the ability to easily customize or add ISV solutions to further enhance the product.
