Landis Computer Moves HP Business Class Computers: CEO says "HP has a compelling business PC"

Landis Computer has a long relationship with a white box PC manufacturer but after looking at the quality and features of the newest generation of business class HP desktop computers we have made the switch to HP as our desktop computer supplier.
We did not make this change lightly and below are some of the items that went into the decision.

-no junkware (runs faster--no time wasted removing it)
-low power consumption (even over other new pc models)
-12 USB ports!
-parallel and serials ports
-sound and speakers built in case
-Solid Busines Class Case/Chassis
-3 year HP warranty! (Known to be excellent)
-This Warranty covers our Nationwide Clients
-Very competetive price



Landis Computer CEO, Matt Landis says “We put a lot of thought into this move. HP business class desktops are not the cheapest computer in the field but we feel the best business value. HP is the largest computer manufacturer in the world for a reason. HP has a compelling business PC”

Microsoft Dynamics ERP Gets In-Depth OCS Integration

Forward looking communication professionals have been asking why phone handsets are an “island by themselves” for quite a while. Microsoft has taken a huge step in making your communication system (formerly known as a phone system—but that terminology is getting outdated) an integral part of your business management solution. Visionary professionals in the communication industry say this merging will have transformational possibilities in organizations—and I am seeing this first hand.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 will start the first wave of these transformational communication possibilities. Let’s give some scenarios to highlight the power of this merging of technologies:

What if you were the purchasing person at your company, you are looking at a sales order that has an item on it you need to special order. You have a quick yes or no question for the salesman that made the sales order (but he’s not in the office!)—so you right click on the salesman’s OCS button (right inside GP) and he instantly gets your Instant Message on his mobile device (Windows mobile or nearly any other device) and answers you “Yes, I need that ASAP.”

What if you are the companywide service advisor in your company. A lead tech at another location emails you and says he has a question about service request #10500. You pull up the service request and immediately see the Part he needs to replace has some tricky things about it and you want to SHOW him how to do the repair. You grab the part and directly from Dynamics GP you can start a Hi-Resolution video call with the tech and show him how to do it…(Enterprise video cam=$99 street price)

How about initiate a call to a warehouse phone handset to check on inventory? Initiate a multi-person video conference?

This is just the start of powerful integration of communication and business management software…

Timeclock That Tightly Integrates to Microsoft Dynamics GP

We have just dumped our aging MS Access-based time clock software in favor of Time Matrix Time Clock solution for Microsoft Dynamics GP. This solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics GP (using the same SQL database). The entire setup took only about 2 hours (we have 11 employees) and was painless. This allows us to have all our punch time calculated automatically and dropped right into GP payroll. It also eliminates another application and database that needs to be backed up, maintained and updated.
