Microsoft Corp. today announced general availability of Microsoft Dynamics™ SL 6.5, formerly Microsoft Business Solutions–Solomon. Microsoft Dynamics SL will be available starting Dec. 19 in Canada and the United States, and will be available in Mexico and other countries by the end of January 2006.

The release includes new Bank Reconciliation and Purchase Requisition modules, expanded out-of-the-box Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint® Services-based portal capabilities including the ability to be deployed in an extranet environment for use with customers and vendors, user-specific scheduling of reports and processes within application server, and more than 100 enhancements for project-driven organizations and distributors.

“Project-driven organizations and distributors need business management applications that adapt to their unique processes. Microsoft Dynamics SL is easily adaptable and provides the capability to manage workflow and transactions in a reliable and affordable manner,” said Eric de Jager, director of Microsoft Dynamics SL at Microsoft.

Microsoft Dynamics SL, which was made available in beta form in August, has received rave reviews from a number of customers, including Dorothy Znamiec, information system director with Genica Corp., a technology supplier and distributor based in Oceanside, Calif. Together, Genica’s four divisions have 800,000 customers and process approximately 60,000 transaction per day.

“I’ve worked with the Solomon product line for a long time,” said Znamiec, who plans to upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics™ SL 6.5 in January.
