You, Me and Dynamics GP
Over at Dynamics NAV site, Navigate into Success, Vjekoslav Babic takes a look at the results from Panorama Consulting Group's ERP Report. This study includes data from actual implementation results. The study is current, results are from 2008, and while it doesn't break out the various Dynamics products, the whole Microsoft Dynamics line fares extremely well.
Vjekoslav breaks out some hightlights so you don't have to read the whole thing if you don't want to. Among the golden nuggets:
If you're a partner or project sponsor, go grab the full report. If you're wrestling with your Dynamics system, feel comfortable that you made the right choice. Call your partner and figure out how to make Dynamics work for you. If you're a consultant, you picked well, now go be the best consultant you can be. Finally, if you are happy with your Dynamics implementation, send a copy of the report to all of your friends who struggle with SAP or Oracle!
Vjekoslav breaks out some hightlights so you don't have to read the whole thing if you don't want to. Among the golden nuggets:
- According to their findings, 72% of ERP customers chose SAP, Oracle or Microsoft’s solutions.
- Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions (the report doesn’t break it down by specific product lines) are the 3rd most common, with 14% market share—as much as the combined market share of Baan, Epicor, IFS, Infor and Sage.
- Microsoft Dynamics solutions come with shortest average implementation duration of the Tier I vendors, and the lowest implementation cost of all ERP vendors. But saying “the lowest” doesn’t do Microsoft Dynamics right: “the lowest” means 6,5 times less than average SAP implementation costs, 4,9 times less than average Oracle implementation costs, and 3,25 times less than average implementation costs of all ERP solutions.
- Also, from cost perspective, implementing Microsoft Dynamics solutions proves to be the most predictable choice: quartile deviation of Microsoft Dynamics is 9% that of SAP, 11% that of Oracle, and 20% that of all ERP vendors.
- Microsoft Dynamics has employee satisfaction rate of 76,9%, the highest employee satisfaction rate of all ERP vendors, 12,5% higher than overall average for all ERP vendors.
