Q4. What is the difference between Dynamics SL Project Controller and Professional Service Time & Billing™?

A. The Dynamics SL Project Controller is a great product for the mid-market construction and engineering industries. It falls short in the Professional Service industry because of these reasons.

  • Price
    Professional Service Time & Billing™ costs much less than the Project Series for smaller professional firms who need the functionality of the full Project Series, but have fewer users.
  • Module availability in the Select Series
    Not all of the Project Series modules are available in the Dynamics SL Select Series. Whereas Professional Service Time & Billing™ provides a large amount of that functionality in a single product.
  • Ease of setup and use
    The Professional Service Time & Billing™ is a product designed to be extremely easy to use from an administrative and timekeeper perspective. It is tremendously easier to use than Project Controller.
  • Daily Timesheets
    The Professional Service Time & Billing™ provides four different timesheet screens to meet the way you do business.
  • More Advanced Easy to use Bill Rates
    The Professional Service Time & Billing™ system provides a more robust project custom rate system that is easier to use.

Note: You can integrate the Professional Service Time & Billing™ module with the Project Controller Module if desired.

Q5. How is Professional Service Time & Billing™ sold?

A. The module is sold either by South Anna, Inc. or any of South Anna’s software partners who have signed up as VARs of the product.

Q6. How does Professional Service Time & Billing™ affect Dynamics SL licensing? How can I determine the number of licenses a client will need?

A. The number of Professional Service Time & Billing™ user licenses is based upon the number of concurrent users that will access the product at any one time. This number does not affect the number of users that are in Dynamics SL; therefore you do not need to purchase more Dynamics SL licenses. You must make sure that you have enough SQL “seats” to support the number of users in both Dynamics SL and Professional Service Time & Billing™ .

Top ↑

Q7. How is Professional Service Time & Billing™ priced?

A. The core product is sold as an individual module with a single user included. If multi- company is required, it is sold as a separate module. Finally, you buy the number of concurrent users you need in addition to the single user included.
