Paragon Software Solutions Offers Microsoft Dynamics™ GP To Automate Financial and Operational Systems
BURLINGTON, Mass.--Paragon Software Solutions, a Microsoft® Certified Business Solutions Partner that provides sales, installation, customization, training and support for Microsoft Dynamics™ GP, today announced that Zone Labs Incorporated, a research and development company, has selected the company to enhance its accounting practices in preparation for its growing needs. Paragon Software Solutions will support and enhance Zone Labs’ new financial and operation systems as the company expands operations.
To help implement the new accounting processes, Zone Labs will migrate away from Linux to Microsoft Dynamics GP. With Paragon's expertise in customization, training and support, Zone Labs will implement the integrated solution that offers powerful financials, accounting and other customized solutions.
“Our solution is a perfect fit for the size and complexity of Zone Labs,” stated Mark Forbush, President and CEO of Paragon Software Solutions. “Since the organization was used to QuickBooks, they needed a solution that was easy to implement and learn. Microsoft Dynamics GP not only provides a straightforward transition, but it also has advanced features that will enable the company to effectively scale and expand their operations well into the future.”
The growth at Zone Labs made it apparent that its existing financial reporting system would not be able to scale to meet the functional requirements and anticipated growth. Currently processes in the financial and operational systems at Zone Labs are not fully automated, and there is an urgency to accurately reconcile financials and access timely information.
“As companies grow, they become much more complex and the need for a robust financial reporting solution that can scale over time becomes vital,” said Brian Neirby, New England Area General Manager for Microsoft’s Small and Midmarket Solutions and Partners Group. “Microsoft Dynamics GP is an ideal application for any business looking for a reliable and secure financial tool that provides low total cost of ownership.”
According to Carl Norloff, Senior Vice President of IT for Zone Labs, “The Microsoft GP solution from Paragon will enable us to automate manual integration points between operational systems and financials to ensure accurate data and reporting. Paragon has provided exceptional support and understanding of our needs from the very first meeting, and we look forward to a continued partnership with them.”
Zone Labs plans to implement financials and order fulfillment first, with an initial phase completed by December. Manufacturing components will follow. The Company believes their return on investment (ROI) will be inherent, as they will gain the ability to effectively control their supply chain and operational processes.
“We anticipate substantial growth in our business, and with Microsoft GP we will be well positioned to accommodate this growth with minimal overhead impact and cost,” concluded Carl Norloff of Zone Labs.
