Why should you upgrade?

The software that runs your business is not something you can implement and forget about. Technology develops at a rapid rate and it is vital to keep your business and software completely up to date to ensure your business continues to function effectively.

Security and compliance

Out of date and unsupported software could lead to slow performance, risk of crashing, compliance issues and loss of valuable data.  If your system is unsupported, who will be able to help?

Employees are spending more time entering information manually.

Time is money and this could be costing you more money than you think.  Taking advantage of new improvements could solve this issue. Upgrades introduce improvements and new features that increase your efficiency and productivity.

Integration with the latest technology

It is very important to stay current on the latest version in order to ensure that software integrations do not become a problem for you.  Older software versions may not provide your employees with the capability to use the latest technology like iPads and mobile devices.  These devices are common place in businesses and permit your people to work anywhere at any time and get more done.

The same goes for the 1099-MISC (03.740.00) Form. The new 1099 Forms can be printed through the 1099 Forms Report.

Microsoft Dynamics SL CU8 is now out, what is new and what has changed in this release:

  • SL CU8 will be able to run on Windows 11, if you have questions on how this works, please Contact Us.
  • The look and feel of journal entries have also changed with this update. The Journal Entry (01.010.00) screen has been updated to now have hidden labels. These labels generate list text for the cBatchHandling and creconstatus drop down controls. There are hidden labels for O and V options of the cbattype dropdown to make localization easier. See the picture above for the hidden label controls.

“I’m writing this letter to express how satisfied Melrose PLC is with the services that SIS provided us. We contacted SIS to help us upgrade our ERP solution and consolidate a number of databases with multiple companies into a single environment and in order to accomplish this we needed a strong, experienced Partner that took the time to understand our requirements along with our businesses’ processes. From the beginning, we received excellent service, support, and a professional team that demonstrated they truly cared about the success and timeliness of the project.

Much of the success of this project was due to a strong project management and a knowledgeable Sr. Consultant, who was very responsive and delivered timely communications throughout. The entire SIS team delivered on all of their promises, thereby, delivering the project on time and on budget. I would highly recommend SIS as a Microsoft Business Partner that will seek to meet and exceed their customer expectations.”
