Microsoft Dynamic?
Discussion
If you want the product to work around the way that your company does business, then you go down the MS route, and pay for the code to change the way the software works.
The alternative is to pay for you to change the way your company works, to fit with the package, in which case you go down the Oracle or SAP route.
Not a massive difference in absolute costs, and they both give you an opportunity to have a long hard look at the processes you have in place now.

You need to be a little more precice. A bit like saying 'any experience of a Ford'...where the GT40 owner says 'pricey but great', and the Ka bloke says 'not up to much, but it was cheap'!
Microsoft Dynamics GP, Dynamics SL, Dynamics NAV and Dynamics AX are all totally different animals, although they do overlap somewhat in the market. There is therfore a range of prices, options and levels of funtionality across the 4 products. Dynamics GP is/was Great Plains; US designed and developed and has never really travelled well. It was the first ERP product taken up by Microsoft to form Microsoft Business Solutions. Dynamics SL is/was Solomon, another [smaller] US product with a focus more on project work. Not a large footprint at all in the UK. Dynamics NAV is/was Navision, so a fine product and probably the largest number of sites in the UK of the 4 currently. And Dynamics AX is/was Axapta, originally written by Daamgard, but owned by Navision at the time of Microsoft's acquisition...and the finest of the lot IMHO. AX is certainly the newest product of the 4, the most flexible and the most scaleable. You'd never guess amoungst my hidden talents there's a certified AX consultant in there
But, as a business, we also sell NAV....but at 140 users and with the potential for expansion I'd be thinking AX.
thinking of buying eh? Drop me a line if you need more information....

Drop me a line if you need more information....I have a lot of experience in ERP systems and implementation; I am a Business Management Consultant not an IT consultant so tend to look at it from a different perspective; I'm currently midway through a large ERP implementation at the moment- feel free to drop me a line, as ever glad to help.
One comment that you made that I picked up on was the question of a different accounts package (??) why would you not use an integrated system or do have large investment in legacy?
