An old adage suggests that the only constant in life is change. Recognizing the truth of this statement, business owners are constantly evaluating their business processes and searching for solutions that will improve their cash flow, increase their efficiency and expand their market share.

The release today of Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Microsoft Dynamics SL 7.0 is designed to provide business owners with such features as increased business intelligence functionality, a more intuitive user interface and the introduction of structured and unstructured search, which allows a person to more easily track down important business information.

In early testing of these products, companies such as ChemPoint.com, a distributor of chemicals and services, and Moeller Design & Development, a provider of rapid product development solutions and services, have improved efficiencies, reduced training time for new employees, and increased worker productivity.

To get a better understanding of how businesses have been using and benefiting from early releases of these products, PressPass spoke with Brooke Davis, controller for Moeller Design and Development in Seattle, Wash.; Ken Green, director of IT for Clearwater Seafoods in Bedford, Nova Scotia; and Dorothy Znamiec, information systems director for Genica in San Diego, Calif.
