  1. Mud Slingers Skyler Williams Mitch Nedved Alex Lambert

  2. Background of Mud Slingers • Once upon a time there was a naughty, outcast boy named Alex. His father disapproved of his every action. Instead of studying French, he experienced Physical Education. By force from his parents, Alex took several business classes in high school. He did average, but only enough to get by to still qualify for sports, MotoCross in particular. He had two best friends, Mitch and Skyler. They did everything together and traveled around the country for MotoCross.

  3. Background Continued • Alex’s father was a very successful businessman who owned his own company. He all but forced Alex to go to the University of Wyoming. Alex longed for his senior year of high school, wanting to be with his friends who were trying to ride professionally. After one year, Alex convinced his buddies to start a dirt bike company with him. He begged on his knees for his dad to help finance the company. Skyler and Mitch said he didn’t have to because they would find another way.

  4. Background Continued • Soon after, the three of them opened up Mud Slingers in a small shop/garage downtown in a small town in California. They had the goal of providing cost effective and sustainable dirt bikes. Alex loved the liberal/hippy atmosphere.

  16. How we use Microsoft Dynamics • Mud Slingers is a company based on the customer for the customer. Since we don’t ship our main merchandise (dirt bikes) across the country, we are very focused on our clients who have actively sought us out for our great products and friendly service. We rely greatly on repeat business, based on surveys and experience, the majority of customers who buy another bike on a different occasion choose us. • This system allows our sales people to see products each customer has bought and their demographic information. It also tracks where customers are from, who referred them, who has helped them in the past and customizes marketing tools to target them. • It compiles easily interpreted statements at the end of each day/month/quarter/year. • We use Microsoft Dynamics to analyze our day to day activities, coordinate all data, and integrate company email.

  17. Pro’s of the Microsoft Dynamic System • Microsoft configures and maintains the servers, there is no extended implementation time • There is no software installation required • Purchase of physical hardware is not required • Depending on service plan • Server maintenance is not required • Upgrades/updates are automatically done • There are no limits to the database size • Two years of complementary maintenance and support • Ability to incorporate email

  18. Con’s of Microsoft Dynamic System • Limited to 2000 users (we have fewer employees) • You may be committed to a monthly service contract • You must pay for service and maintenance after two years (if physical server on site)

  19. Cost of Microsoft Dynamics • A ballpark range for the Dynamics ERP’s is around $2000-$6000 per concurrent user and Dynamics CRM is $1000-$2000 for the software (one time fee for each new user, must have physical server on site) • Dynamics CRM Online for $44/user/month • We will use the online cloud system because it is so inexpensive and suits our needs. As the software is upgraded, we do not need to worry about anything but our internet connection (Jen personal communication, October 8, 2012).
