Video Corporation of America: Bringing Business into Focus

When accounting and project management applications operate in individual silos, they cannot provide the level of business management support and reporting required for real-time project management and control. In contrast, Microsoft Dynamics SL is fully integrated, bridging documents, spreadsheets, project accounting transactions, inventory management, and accounting into one cohesive system. By integrating accounting, project management, and inventory control in a single system, VCA can run real-time reports and detailed cost analysis which, in turn, enables quick and informed decisions. “With our fixed price business model, it’s important to identify issues on a project before they become a problem,” says Heuer. “The detailed project reporting in Dynamics SL allows us to do just that.” VCA also benefits from Dynamics SL Business Portal and remote access. Project Managers can access web-based project reports and personnel in the field can submit timesheets and other project transactions. Heuer notes, “Our personnel are no longer deskbound. They can access the application from anywhere using a web browser.”
