Microsoft Dynamics GP for Higher Education

Accuracy, security, and compliance: Keys to success in higher education accounting solutions

Higher Education, non-profit organizations, and research institutions have numerous "information" constituents. The board of directors, sponsors, oversight committees, executives, department heads, donors, all need timely and accurate information. Producing the reports these constituents need in an efficient manner has never been more important than now. At Dynamic Methods we work with you to properly track and communicate the information your end users rely on.

Take care of your largest cost and it will take care of you

Faculty are the largest single cost for most schools, even though only 45 percent of staff, on average, are teachers: 65 percent of faculty are full-time teachers, and 50 percent of those have tenure. Two-year colleges use a much higher proportion of part-time teachers, about 65 percent. Dynamic Methods will help you get your arms around all the aspects of Payroll and Human Resources so that your staff are well cared for (and accounted for.)

Start saving precious time by distributing information quickly and securely through Microsoft SharePoint. Dynamic Methods has extensive experience in creating a solution that puts the right information in the right hands to all levels within an organization with SharePoint.
