The delevopers at Microsoft created a line of business software to deliver business management solutions to mid-sized businesses as well as larger corporations. In the fast paced world of business today, and the challenges facing businesses, having the type of management tools that Microsoft Dynamics offers can make a material impact in a company's performance.
Developed by the Microsoft Business Solutions Group, Microsoft Dynamics is a line of familiar and adaptable Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions that are designed to meet the needs of companies from a variety of industries. These sets of business management solutions automate and streamline the key areas of a business, including financial tracking and reporting, business intelligence, and supply chain management.
I sat up during the evening, reading by the light of the fire the scraps of newspapers in which some party had wrapped their luncheon.... I read these things at a vast advantage there, and it seemed to me that the advertisements, or what is called the business part of a paper, were greatly the best, the most useful, natural, and respectable. Almost all the opinions and sentiments expressed were so little considered, so shallow and flimsy, that I thought the very texture of the paper must be weaker in that part and tear the more easily. The advertisements and the prices current were more closely allied to nature, and were respectable in some measure as tide and meteorological tables are; but the reading-matter ... unless it was some humble record of science, or an extract from some old classic, struck me as strangely whimsical, and crude, and one-idea’d, like a school-boy’s theme, such as youths write and after burn.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

A key advantage of the Microsoft Dynamics solutions is that they look like other familiar Microsoft products, with a similar graphical user interface to the widely used Microsoft Office applications. These business solutions were designed to be familiar so that they could be easily integrated into your business operations to enhance your employee productivity. If your employees are familiar with Word or Excel, they will be able to recognize the functions within the Microsoft Dynamics business applications.
I want to preach a new doctrine. A complete separation of business and government.
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
