Brokerage firm adds Microsoft Dynamics GP to current Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution to help manage its staff of 1,400 and a national referral network of 64,000 brokers.

Microsoft Corp. today announced that Sperry Van Ness, one of the nation’s fastest-growing commercial real estate investment brokerage firms, has chosen to complement its recently implemented Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM solution with the addition of Microsoft Dynamics GP for an overall Microsoft Dynamics enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite. The company, founded in 1987 and based in Irvine, Calif., sells commercial property by proactively marketing all listings to the brokerage and investment community nationwide. Microsoft Dynamics GP will empower accounting and financial management functions, while the overall Microsoft Dynamics suite will create a consistent ERP platform with deep business analysis capabilities. The company expects the solution to help continue a growth trend that has increased its organization’s staff from 220 to nearly 1,400 and expanded its service area from seven markets to 150 in just five years.

“Without a doubt, technology is a key reason for our explosive growth,” said Tom Sanchez, senior vice president of Information Systems for Sperry Van Ness. “We already have a custom software tool built on Microsoft technologies that integrates with Microsoft Dynamics CRM and, in our opinion, puts us far ahead of the competition. We expect that adding Microsoft Dynamics GP will offer an even higher level of proficiency.”
