When you're evaluating staffing software, the platform matters. But so does the organisation behind it. A lot of software vendors partner with Microsoft — meaning they've completed a certification programme and bolted their product onto a Microsoft API. Professional Advantage is different. We've been a Microsoft partner for 35 years, with deep Dynamics expertise that runs through every part of how 1Staff is built, implemented, and supported.
That history isn't just a badge. It means the people who build 1Staff understand the Microsoft stack at a level that takes decades to develop. It means your implementation is handled by a team that has done this hundreds of times. And it means when something needs fixing, you're talking to the people who built it — not a support desk reading from a knowledge base.
Microsoft Solutions Partner Status
What our Microsoft partnership actually means.
Professional Advantage holds Microsoft Solutions Partner status — the highest tier of the Microsoft Partner Network. This isn't an integration badge or a marketplace listing. It reflects demonstrated capability across Microsoft cloud, business applications, and Dynamics implementations, verified by Microsoft directly.
For you, that means:
- 1Staff runs on Dynamics 365 Sales for the front office and Business Central for pay and bill — not a proprietary database with a Microsoft login bolted on. The platform you're buying is built by a team Microsoft has formally validated.
- Implementations follow Microsoft best-practice methodology
- 1Staff stays current with Microsoft platform updates — we're involved in roadmap conversations, not reacting to them after the fact
- Your data and security framework meets Microsoft's own standards
35 Years of Dynamics Expertise
Experience that no new entrant can replicate.
Professional Advantage has been implementing Microsoft Dynamics for businesses across Australia, the US, and globally since 1990. That's 35 years of knowing what works, what doesn't, and how to build software that runs the way real businesses operate.
1Staff was built by that team — specifically for staffing. Not adapted from a generic ERP. Not a front-office tool that added financials later. A platform designed from the ground up for the way staffing firms actually work, as a native part of the Microsoft architecture — built by the team that knows it better than almost anyone.
One Team — From Build to Support.
The same people who built it implement and support it.
This is where the Professional Advantage model is genuinely different from most software vendors. The team that built 1Staff is the team that implements it. The team that implements it is the team that supports it. There is no handoff to a third-party systems integrator. There is no support ticket that gets routed to a vendor you've never met.
When you go live on 1Staff, you have a direct line to the people who know the platform inside out — because they built it.
Trusted by 22 of the largest staffing firms in the US.
