Rural hospital saves time and labour with Microsoft Dynamics GP
16 February 2008
Holy Infant Hospital of Hoven, South Dakota, has chosen Microsoft Dynamics GP as its enterprise resource planning solution. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a scalable business management solution designed to help growing and midsize organisations get up and running quickly, with robust financial and operational functionality such as business intelligence, reporting, budgeting and forecasting.
“The reporting capability of Microsoft Dynamics GP was crucial in the consideration,” said Becky Haar, chief financial officer of Holy Infant Hospital. “The solution also was very competitively priced.”
The hospital worked with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner DFC Consultants of Fargo, North Dakota, to implement Microsoft Dynamics GP with core financial capabilities for general ledger, accounts receivable and accounts payable, along with a module for payroll. DFC also integrated a timekeeping program into Microsoft Dynamics GP to eliminate the hospital’s paper time cards and allow a seamless digital flow into the payroll solution.
With the new solution implemented, Holy Infant Hospital expects to gain considerable savings in time and effort while significantly improving the accuracy of its financial operations.
In addition, the automated reporting capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics GP were a primary benefit that drove the hospital’s decision to choose this solution. Holy Infant moves from a system providing virtually no reports or financial details to one that offers comprehensive and detailed reporting in an easy-to-use, integrated fashion.
“With Microsoft Dynamics GP, a small, rural healthcare facility like Holy Infant Hospital can gain world-class accounting, payroll, reporting and budgeting capabilities, and very significant cost savings right out of the box, with a system that is both affordable and easy to use,” said Michael Park, corporate vice president for Microsoft’s US Dynamics business. “Microsoft Dynamics GP maximises the productivity of the people in an organisation and adapts to its changing needs.”
