So you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having missed the chance to get the Microsoft Dynamics GP Starter-Pack for $3,000. Yes, it was a pretty incredible offer and I helped several companies switch off their old Quickbooks, Peachtree, Sage, and Netsuite systems to something, well, a little more dynamic. I’d like to think it was due to our fantastic sales and marketing efforts but really, when you look at what you get with the Dynamics GP Starter Pack (listing below) versus what you get in those other solutions, the decision was easy for my customers to make.
So the question is, what do you do now that you’ve missed this amazing promotion? That’s an easy one too. You go ahead with your decision and buy it anyway. ‘Sure Dan, easy for you to say. It’s not your money’. OK, I get that, but the way I’m looking at it is that for only $5,000 you get an enormous amount of business computing power (did I mention the listing below?) with one of the most popular and reliable accounting and financial management systems in the world. Whether you’re in Distribution, Professional Services, Technology, Property Management, a Non-Profit, you name it, Microsoft Dynamics GP is going to have what it takes to manage your business.
To illustrate this point I went back and pulled a price list from a proposal I did for a medium sized Healthcare company back in 2005.
The total on software alone comes to $47,950 and this doesn’t even include all of the modules you now get in the Starter Pack! And believe me a lot of companies bought Dynamics GP at this price. So when I say go ahead with your project I’m basing that solely on the fact that in 8 short years the price of one of the most powerful business software applications on the market has decreased in price over 95%.
