Microsoft has announced that Management Consulting, a service provider for government agencies around the world, has selected Microsoft Dynamics NAV to replace its multiple product and service sales systems and eliminate duplicate data entry.

Mancon sells logistics, professional, technical and administrative support services to the U.S. Department of Defense, other federal and state government agencies, and industry customers. Headquartered in Virginia Beach, Mancon has worked with governments and businesses in the Azores Islands, Bahrain, Guam, Italy, Japan and Spain.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV will supplant Mancon's multiple legacy systems, which have become outdated and obsolete, Mancon officials say. The company had been operating three systems -- one to manage its products business and two for services operations.

Mancon President Rick Clarke wanted one integrated product to support both product and services sales. Mancon also needed a product designed to meet the specific requirements faced by companies that service the federal government.

One advantage Mancon sees is simple stress relief -- "company managers reported that the extra work required by the previous system to close the books each month and ensure all systems were balanced was causing stress and the anxiety, hurting morale and straining working relationships," officials say.

CDC continues buying up Australian CRM companies -- industry observer Nadia Cameron has reported that CRM vendor CDC Software has purchased Australian Microsoft CRM specialist, Snapdragon Consulting, CDC's third such buy in 2007.

Snapdragon "will become a subset of CDC's local consulting subsidiary, Praxa," Cameron says, reporting that CDC Chairman, John Clough said Snapdragon's Microsoft CRM expertise would give it a much-needed boost in that market.

"As part of the acquisition, Snapdragon founder and managing director, Guy Riddle, will stay on as general manager of the business and assist Praxa's national operations," Cameron says, adding that "Snapdragon's 12 staff have been retained and are moving into Praxa's Sydney and Melbourne offices."

The Snapdragon acquisition comes four months after CDC Software acquired Queensland-based integrator, PlanTec, Cameron says: "At that time, Clough said it was looking to grow Praxa's local revenues from $60 million up to $200 million. It also acquired South Australia-based Vectra Corporation earlier this year."
