Integration through the setup screen. This will allow for the charge and revenue
tracking in the Project Controller Module through all of the integrations with the
other financial modules in Dynamics SL.
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Daily Timesheets:
The Professional Service Time & Billing™ provides four different
timesheet screens to meet the way you do business.
5. 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 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.
Q8. Does Professional Service Time & Billing™ have technical support?
A. Yes, Isis has a full support team to assist with any technical issues you experience.
Q9. Is Professional Service Time & Billing™ multi-company enabled?
A. Yes, multi-company is fully supported.
