“DynamicsPrint® with IMP is the heart of our planning estimations and imposition systems.
Estimating has become an important science. Our young estimators can deliver accurate plans just as an experienced estimator, with loads of experience, would.”

“The reason we chose DP was because it’s an industry solution which solves many of the problems we had in the standard Microsoft Dynamics setup. Also, there was demand from the management to have final costing, which was also a major challenge in the standard Dynamics solution.
DynamicsPrint® also helps us greatly with scheduling and shop floor management. The data gathered gives us great insights, and results in a much more cost-efficient production.”

“The professional and highly skilled DynamicsPrint® team led the implementation to develop the expertise internally at DCM with a team of Subject Matter Experts from each of the specialized print production areas. DynamicsPrint’s expertise regarding the system and the industry was instrumental to ensuring the configurations were done properly. As this is a highly configurable solution, the approach and implementation was very well structured and ensured that the team worked from the basic setups to the more complex setups with a pace that was manageable and retainable.
DynamicsPrint® adjusted the resource requirements to accommodate both technical and functional areas of expertise as needed throughout the project, providing best practice directives to ensure that the proper approach was being followed.”

“I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with DynamicsPrint® and the support you have given KP San Leandro since our launch. The seemingly endless set of tools available really help us run and improve our business.
The visibility into job statuses, P&L, and the ability to create and manage cues that give our team a personalized look into their own area of responsibility have become essential to our business model. I can’t even imagine going back to our old system. Thanks to the DynamicsPrint® team for all your help and support.”

Microsoft Introduces Model Context Protocol (MCP)
At Microsoft Build 2025, the announcement of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers marks a major leap toward the autonomous enterprise. This new open standard allows AI-powered agents to interact directly with business applications like Dynamics 365 ERP — making processes faster, more context-aware, and significantly less dependent on manual intervention.
Crucially, these advancements are fully compatible with DynamicsPrint®, Microsoft’s preferred ERP solution for the printing and packaging industry. Read more about our AI features.
Why MCP Matters
MCP servers act as the connective tissue between business applications and generative AI agents. They standardize how language models receive data, understand context, and perform actions. Agents built using MCP can:
Connect directly to ERP/CRM data without custom APIs.
Take secure, authorized actions within Dynamics 365.
Automate complex workflows with context-rich logic.
For industries like print and packaging — where coordination between quoting, scheduling, procurement, and production is critical — this shift is transformational.
What It Means for DynamicsPrint® Users
With MCP integration, DynamicsPrint® customers will be able to:
Deploy AI agents that understand job status, inventory, and scheduling context.
Automate customer updates, quoting, and supply chain actions in real time.
Interface with tools like Microsoft Copilot Studio and Azure AI to extend agent capabilities securely across the enterprise.
This means production planners can use AI agents to optimize schedules automatically based on current constraints. Sales teams can trigger updates to quotes or proposals without manual lookup. Procurement teams can instantly validate vendors or consolidate orders.
From Vision to Reality: Use Cases Already Deployed
Microsoft partners are already building industry-specific MCP agents:
Avanade uses MCP to automate RFP responses with historical CRM data.
Fellowmind enables ESG classification using AI agents tied to spend data.
HSO is streamlining invoice payments through autonomous workflows.
TTEC Digital is creating agents for post-sale upselling triggered by Dynamics data.
These aren’t prototypes — they’re live, intelligent solutions operating within MCP-connected environments.
Future-Ready ERP for Print and Packaging
By supporting MCP, DynamicsPrint® positions its users at the leading edge of enterprise AI. This isn’t about removing people — it’s about elevating human work by delegating repetitive, data-driven decisions to intelligent systems.
As print and packaging companies look to improve efficiency, respond faster to customer needs, and reduce the operational drag of fragmented systems, MCP brings a unified, scalable solution — powered by the Dynamics ecosystem.
The autonomous enterprise is no longer theoretical. With Microsoft and DynamicsPrint®, it’s operational.
