Acumatica vs Dynamics SL: Mobile App
I can remember getting my first cellular phone. I had just gotten a job as a consultant for a Dynamics SL (Solomon at that time) reseller and I was told I needed one so I could be reached by clients. The phone was small and clunky, but I could make phone calls and I soon realized it had another amazing feature – texting! Phones have changed a lot since then, but sadly I still can’t do much more on my phone with SL than I could on my first cell phone.

Acumatica vs Dynamics SL: CRM
Businesses using an ERP (Enterprise Resource Program) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software are often frustrated as they are more often than not – two separate software packages. CRM is handling the customer interactions on the front end and an ERP handling all the back end business processes. So, to get a complete view of your customer most companies need to build an integration between the two software packages.
