|
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.

How
is Professional Service Time & Billing™ sold? |
|
A. |
The module is
sold either by Isis, Inc. or any of Isis’
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™ .
|
|
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. |
|

Professional Service
Time & Billing™ have technical support? |
|
A. |
Yes, Isis has a full support team to assist
