Unanet Releases Enhanced Version of Microsoft Dynamics SL Integration

Solution provides best of breed project forecasting, resource management
and services automation for project-based organizations

Sterling, VA, December 21, 2009 – Unanet Technologies, a developer of services automation software that helps organizations manage people and projects for improved profitability, has announced the latest version of its integration with Microsoft Dynamics SL. The new version provides comprehensive integration between Unanet’s best of breed Professional Services Automation solution and Microsoft Dynamics SL Project Accounting & Core Financial Accounting Package.

Unanet’s solution provides initial opportunity planning and resource forecasting, through detailed budget planning and staff scheduling, time and expense capture, and real-time reporting. Microsoft Dynamics SL is a project and financial accounting solution specialized to help organizations obtain revenue recognition, invoicing, financial reports and business analysis, while helping increase efficiency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.

A natural fit to Unanet’s extensive Professional Services Automation software, the integration with Microsoft Dynamics SL empowers organizations to view project profitability, revenue, expenses and financials in one place, giving management greater visibility into project and workforce performance. The integration ensures a single point of entry for data on projects and people with no duplication of effort, with automatic replication between Unanet and MS Dynamics SL to ensure data integrity between the systems.

"Many of Unanet’s customers are government contractors and other services providers with needs for compliance with government regulations, resource planning and real – time project information. Microsoft Dynamics SL provides accounting information to accounting people; Unanet software supports operational people who are planning resources, managing projects and improving overall business productivity“, explained Steve Bittner, Vice President of Professional Services at Unanet Technologies. “The integrated solution helps services-driven companies improve utilization, increase profitability and streamlines business processes”.

In an April 2009 report titled Microsoft Moves Dynamics Forward With New Releases And Simplified Pricing Strategies, Forrester Research writes, “A new partnership with Unanet Technologies provides resource forecasting and opportunity planning capabilities that complements the project and financial accounting solution of Microsoft Dynamics SL.”

Plumbline Solutions, a Microsoft Dynamics Gold Certified Partner and the developer of Microsoft Dynamics SL, featured Unanet in their December 2009 newsletter. The article highlighted Unanet’s strengths as a “best of breed” project management and reporting solution which extends and adds value to Microsoft Dynamics financial software.
