Modern technology built for the demands of government contracting

Modernize your operations, strengthen compliance and prepare your business for what's next with RSM and Microsoft.

Government contractors and the Defense Industrial Base need technology that can keep pace with growth, evolving compliance requirements (such as CMMC, DCAA, FAR and CAS) and increasing expectations for security, visibility and efficiency.

RSM combines government contracting knowledge with Microsoft technology to help organizations modernize ERP, connect data and operations, strengthen security and build a foundation for AI-powered transformation.

Government contracting capabilities. Microsoft innovation.

Government contractors should not have to choose between industry-specific functionality and modern technology.

RSM’s GovCon Accelerator extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 with functionality designed around the financial, operational and compliance requirements of government contractors while connecting organizations to the broader Microsoft ecosystem.

Compliance and audit readiness
Support FAR and CAS compliance, DCAA audits, incurred cost submissions, and the segregation of direct, indirect and unallowable costs.
Financial management
Support indirect rate calculations, cost allocations, labor distribution and greater visibility into project and financial performance.
Contract and project management
Manage funding, periods of performance, contract billing, revenue recognition and multiple contract types.
Connected technology
Integrate enterprise resource planning (ERP) with Microsoft's broader ecosystem for data, collaboration, automation, security and artificial intelligence.

Go beyond traditional GovCon ERP

Replacing an ERP system is an opportunity to do more than modernize financial management. It can create a connected technology foundation for the entire organization.

RSM helps government contractors use Microsoft Dynamics 365 as part of a broader Microsoft strategy that connects people, processes and data across the business.

By redesigning applications, data and workflows around the new platform, government contractors can create the operational foundation for automation, Microsoft Copilot and AI agents across the organization.

Connected operations
Connect finance, projects, contracts, supply chain, customer information and other critical business processes through Microsoft Dynamics 365.
AI-powered operations
Build a foundation for Microsoft Copilot, agentic AI and emerging AI capabilities that can help teams access information, analyze data and automate work.
Intelligent apps and workflows
Redesign and automate workflows across connected applications to reduce manual processes, improve efficiency and create opportunities for greater business value.
Built to evolve
Create a scalable technology foundation that can support new contracts, entities, acquisitions, changing business requirements and continued AI adoption.

Identify your highest-value path to AI-powered operations

Whether you are evaluating a new ERP solution, modernizing a legacy government contracting platform or exploring AI-powered operations, RSM can help you identify the workflows with the greatest potential value; assess readiness across applications, data and governance; and define a practical Microsoft adoption roadmap.

Modernization with security and compliance in mind

For government contractors, technology modernization and cybersecurity go hand in hand.

RSM helps organizations strengthen their Microsoft environments while addressing requirements associated with CMMC, DFARS, CUI and ITAR. Our approach can incorporate zero-trust principles across identities, devices, applications and data.

GCC High
Support GCC High tenant stand-ups and migrations, including identity, collaboration, device and security considerations.
Threat protection
Strengthen monitoring and threat protection with Microsoft Defender capabilities.
Security readiness
Assess current security capabilities and develop a roadmap across identities, devices, data, collaboration and governance.
Zero trust
Apply identity- and device-based controls using Microsoft technologies such as Entra and Intune.
Data protection
Use Microsoft Purview capabilities to support data classification, labeling, encryption and data loss prevention.
Connected security
Connect security strategy with the broader Microsoft technology environment to support a more unified approach to risk and compliance.

One connected platform. More possibilities.

Government contractors often rely on separate technologies for ERP, reporting, collaboration, security and automation. Microsoft provides an opportunity to connect more of the technology environment through a common ecosystem, creating a stronger foundation for automation, data-driven decision making and AI.

Technology that can grow with your business

A government contracting ERP solution should support more than today's accounting requirements.

As contractors win new awards, add entities, enter new markets or pursue acquisitions, technology needs can become increasingly complex. RSM helps organizations establish a Microsoft-based foundation designed to scale with the business.

From ERP modernization and cloud migration to security, automation, data management and AI adoption, RSM can help government contractors create a technology roadmap that supports current requirements while providing a foundation for future opportunities and continuous innovation.

Government contracting knowledge meets Microsoft capabilities

RSM works with more than 800 government contracting clients nationwide, combining government contracting knowledge with extensive Microsoft capabilities.
