The guiding principles in Dynacom’s choice of a customization technology were simplicity of use, rapidity of development, and the assurance that the final product would be totally integrated and scalable within Dynacom Accounting. Because all Dynacom Accounting editions are built on the same solid foundation, your customizations will still be available to you with a new version or higher edition of your Dynacom application.

Comparison of existing customization methods
When the time comes to find a management software that reflects the reality of your business, solutions are rarely simple. There are a good number of customization tools on the market but the investment they require is frequently prohibitive and their results are, in even the best of cases, mediocre. Therefore, what is available to a businessperson who is looking for a management solution to help increase profits?
Software designed for a horizontal market (multi-industry)
Management software designed for a horizontal market are, by definition, generic tools. Their primary advantage, perhaps the only one, is that these software are low cost. However, because they are destined for businesses of all kinds, they generally offer little flexibility and adapt poorly to established business processes. In fact, they usually require that the business process adapts to them.
Software designed for a vertical market (single-industry)
Management software designed for a vertical market are usually better designed to respond to the distinctive needs of a specific sector of activity. On the other hand, they don’t meet the specific needs of all businesses. As a result of their deficiencies, users are frequently obliged to find parallel and more generic solutions to provide the missing functionalities. This situation then engenders the risks inherent to trying to maintain compatibility between two distinct products. This is even without considering the substantial financial costs involved.
Custom software
Custom software, meaning those developed specifically for a company, offer the advantage of responding greatly to the management reality of the business. However, you must be prepared to pay the price. This alternative generates considerable costs, both for the initial development of the product and for its continued maintenance. In addition, the proper functioning of the product is always dependent on the availability of a third party. As well, even a personal customization of such a software does not guarantee that it will include all the accounting procedures necessary for healthy financial management. The risk still remains that you will need to use other software in parallel, still opening up the possibility of error and incompatibility related to using two products interactively.
Dynacom customization: Synergy
Synergy is a flexible customization environment that eliminates the gap between vertical solutions and generic solutions by allowing you to personalize the popular Dynacom Accounting software at very low cost.
