customization, reporting, version upgrade, integration, software development in
Chicago southwest suburbs: Plainfield, Naperville, Aurora, Morris, Channahon,

When we are talking about ERM implementation, typically the advise is to pick
implementation consulting firm with local representation and proven track of
successful practice over multiple years. Additional advise would be good technical
background, especially when we are talking about Microsoft platforms, where products
are intended to be flexible and tunable: C#, Visual Studio.Net, XML Web Services,
eCommerce development - these technologies are typically expected as in-house
expertise for large or midsize company, however proprietary ERP tools, such as
Microsoft Dexterity, Microsoft Dynamics eConnect, VBA programming for GP Modifier
and Great Plains Integration Manager - these technologies should be considered to
come with your Microsoft Dynamics partner. Functional system knowledge is also the
must, but typically this is an attribute of every consulting practice. Let's take a
look at Microsoft Dynamics GP technical highlights:
. Current Version & Upgrades. Currently we are talking about GP 9.0 (GP 10.0 is
expected in April 2007). Upgrade is straightforward for non-customized GP without
so-called third party modules: Mekorma, Horizon, Intellisol, DynamicsZip, AssureBuy,
Avalara, Alba Spectrum, etc. Plus if you are on non-supported version, such as
Great Plains 6.0, 7.0, 7.5 on Pervasive SQL 2000, or Ctree/Faircomm, or even Great
Plains Accounting 9.2, 9.5 versions for DOS or Windows - you need migration to GP
consulting help
. Customizations. Typically historical Great Plains Dynamics/eEnterprise clients
have GPS Dexterity customization. These custom modules should be given into
professional Dexterity developers hands for upgrade and technology feasibility
analysis - probably portion of customization logic should be recommended to be
migrated to SQL Server stored procedures, eConnect, XML Web Servies
. Reporting. Historically you can have Crystal Reports, as well as Great Plains
RepotWriter modified reports - Report Writer in GP Dexterity application, which
allows you to modify existing reports (available in DYNAMICS.DIC dictionary) plus
create new reports (typically for quick data export only). Such reports as SOP Long
Invoice Form are the most heavily modified and popular.
. Countryside ERP consulting. This is typically local and regional consulting
compromise. You should probably expect some good level of small business ERP
expertise: MYPB, PeachTree, Microsoft Small Business Accounting, however when you
need such complex expertise as Microsoft Dynamics GP Manufacturing, Project
Accounting, Dexterity, Service Management Suite - you should consider the alliance
of local consultant support, supplemented with regional as-needed consulting help
from consulting firm, located in Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Springfield,
Saint Luis, Vandalia, Peoria, Rockford.
