Royal College of Physicians | Education | 386 | $48M | United Kingdom | Microsoft | Microsoft Dynamics GP | ERP Financial | 2017 | In 2017 the Royal College of Physicians implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP as its ERP Financial solution, replacing Unit4 Financials, formerly CODA Financial. The implementation focused on addressing multi-site operations and complex VAT arrangements while delivering in-depth reporting and transparent visibility across the organisation. Microsoft Dynamics GP was configured with FRx Report Writer to provide browser-accessible, real time reporting and with Integration Manager to link the core financials to payroll systems and other third party products. The configuration included role based user rights so departmental managers could access only their relevant reports, and security and reporting capabilities were emphasized to meet charity sector governance requirements. Integrations were explicit components of the deployment, Integration Manager providing the connective layer between Microsoft Dynamics GP and existing payroll and ancillary systems, and the solution was aligned with the Microsoft Office suite to streamline data handling. Operational coverage included multiple offices across the United Kingdom and the central finance function, with the ERP Financial platform serving as the organisation wide source of transaction and management reporting data. The College also planned an eRequest purchasing project to create purchase orders, trigger supplier emails and post accounting transactions directly into Microsoft Dynamics GP. The rollout followed a structured implementation lifecycle led by Advantage Business Systems using their OnTrack methodology, including data clean up and reconciliation of existing reports, a series of scoping workshops, and a parallel test implementation prior to cutover. Advantage Business Systems acted as the implementation partner and provided on-going help desk and consultancy support as the College migrated master data and established new reporting workflows. Post implementation Microsoft Dynamics GP provided a centralised business management platform that removed repetitive manual rekeying, streamlined reporting distribution, and alleviated pressure on the Accounts Department. The College reported increased visibility and efficiency across reporting and transactional processes and continued to work with Advantage Business Systems on further automation of purchasing and web enabled invoicing functionality for future versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP. | |

Global Aerospace Underwriting Managers | Insurance | 338 | $114M | United Kingdom | Microsoft | Microsoft Dynamics GP | ERP Financial | 2017 | In 2017, Global Aerospace Underwriting Managers implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP as their ERP Financial solution to unify finance and accounting across the group. The selection followed a documented RFI process that prioritized multi currency functionality, strong integration capabilities, flexible reporting for pool member and pool year accounts, and robust cash and reconciliation features. The Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment at Global Aerospace delivered core financial accounting modules configured for trial balances, profit and loss statements, statutory reporting by pool member and segmented chart of accounts reporting. Configuration emphasized cash handling, bank reconciliation, expense control and segmented account structures to enable reporting at multiple levels. The solution ran on a Microsoft SQL Server relational database environment, aligning with the companys existing Microsoft architecture and easing data compatibility and integration. Integrations were explicitly implemented to connect Microsoft Dynamics GP with existing underwriting processing, including the Av/38 solution, enabling financial outputs to be incorporated into pool member accounts. The initial implementation completed in two months at the UK office, followed by rollouts across the U.S. and Canadian offices. A later upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics GP version 8 was executed as a coordinated global update, comprising fifty database upgrades performed simultaneously across sites. Advantage Business Systems acted as the implementation partner and continues to provide ongoing support, with Global Aerospace noting an annual contract review practice and sustained partnership continuity. Governance work focused on consistent process definition for underwriting on behalf of multiple pool members, establishing group level monitoring and common reporting practices to ensure U.S. and Canadian offices reported into the U.K. on a standardized basis. The organization gained a group wide business management solution that simplified day to day processes and financial reporting, and the Microsoft Office look and feel supported end user acceptance. The upgrade path and global coordinated database updates demonstrated a managed application lifecycle approach for Microsoft Dynamics GP in an ERP Financial context. |
