Microsoft Dynamics SL 2011 raises the bar for productivity, performance, and growth with the familiar user experience your people need; insight to fuel the results your customers want; and new ways for your organization to thrive. Check out these top reasons to upgrade: 

• Get more done in less time - Give people easy access to the resources they need to stay productive. New activity panes, role-based menus, and quick lists make it easy to prioritize tasks, and enhanced menu search features let you find what you need in just a few clicks. 
• Enhance insight with realtime reporting data - Gain visibility into key reporting data to help your business thrive. Get over 50 predefined views of data by using Quick Query to filter, customize, or drill back to a Microsoft Dynamics SL screen to view the original transaction; and save your custom views. 
• Make it easier to manage and share information - You can boost productivity with a single, consolidated view of orders, requests, and customer data; and quickly upload reports directly to a SharePoint site to share with your department. 
• Simplify multi-company activities - With Microsoft Dynamics SL 2011, you can make entries for multiple companies with ease-without having to close any windows to log in to other companies. 
• Automate even more financial processes - Get tighter control of your general ledger with robust financial capabilities and complete general ledger tasks quickly and reduce errors with automated support for common actions-from reversing and copying entries to correcting journal batches.
