Microsoft Great Plains implementation, reporting, customization, integration and
software sales options should be revealed to potential and existing GP customer, in
order to give him/her proper Microsoft Dynamics support partner selection criteria.
In this small article we will consider MBS certification, certain level of GP
technical aspects, plus we will try to classify consulting organizations:
. GP Consultants. Who is out there to help me - this is probably the first question
in selecting supporting GP partner. Well, you should expect to find three echelons
of consulting organizations: 1 - nationwide firms, 2 - local consulting firms
(typically covering business metro, such as Chicago or Houston, for example) and 3 -
individual consultants or various forms of consultants associations. The hourly
consulting rates (as well as collection power) have direct proportion - going down
the ladder 1-2-3.
. Technology vs. CPA/Business Consulting. Some consulting practices are driven by
former software programmers, however when consulting practice is growing it has to
deploy professional managers, who tend to make accent on proper paperwork, keeping
client involved (and informed) and more conservative collection practice
. GP Technical Highlights. Great Plains Software designed Great Plains Dynamics as
ERP architecture in earlier 1990th. It specially created Great Plains Dexterity
programming environment to design Dynamics
. Local vs. Remote support. You should consider the following factors: remote
support is typically cheaper and response time is minimized, however your should
have your employees be ready to initiate web sessions, enable vpn connection for
remote support partner, be ready to deploy such VOIP technologies as Skype, etc.
Local support is traditional and this is why you probably seek it first. Good idea
is to deploy GP consulting company which combines required local consulting visits
with following remote support, and potentially following offshore custom software
development
