It is always helpful for government contractors executives to tell their solution stories to other executives who are in the early stages of  discovery.  Lessons learned from real life experience are worth their weight in gold.  At the Microsoft Government Contractor Summit, Steve Miller, CFO of Powertek Corporation shared why his organization choose Dynamics NAV to manage their financials and government contractor compliance needs. 

Essentially, Powertek looked at Deltek GCS Premier, Costpoint and NAV.  Steve had personally been a Deltek user for over a decade.  Steve shared that their organization opted for Dynamics NAV for the following reasons:

• GCS Works but is Limiting
• Could not easily import into Excel
• WBS Project Set up in GCS Premier was difficult and complex
• Advantages of Dynamics NAV
• NAV was more flexible in setting up projects, departments and divisions
• Many more reporting options
• Microsoft Support and Integration was very attractive
• SQL Based vs GCS Flat File database structure
• PVBS strong commitment to Government Contracting
