Press Release Body: Former Great Plains Software Dynamics and eEnterprise, after
being acquired by Microsoft, received new name Microsoft Dynamics GP. Great Plains
is very solid ERP and MRP platform for traditional functional implementation, as
well as to be integrated into corporate IT infrastructure, where you may already
have such pieces as CRM, Sales Order Processing, ecommerce, EDI, Warehouse
Management with Barcode, Contract Management, Groupware for example. In this small
publication we would like to review the specifics of our company as Great Plains
Certified Partner and Reseller:

1. Orientation in Technology. If you are reading these lines, likely the case is
your partial disappointing in local Great Plains VAR project implementing case.
Traditional local GP partner, especially small and mid-size, has to make their
profit on new Great Plains software license sale, followed by traditional
implementation and user training. Of course there are multiple exceptions, however
it is not necessary the case that local GP VAR carries robust department of Great
Plains Programmers and Technical consultants. There is probably not enough local
business for local Dynamics GP reseller to support its own Software Development
Factory. Great Plains advanced technical expertise could be found in nationwide
Dynamics GP technology partners

2. Dynamics GP technology highlights. Talking about Great Plains customization and
programming – you should review such tools as Dynamics GP Dexterity, eConnect, SQL
stored procedures. In GP integrating arena – GP Integration Manager, where you need
strong SQL views and select statement programming with grouping and aggregation,
plus IM itself may need VBA scripting and such technologies as name translation. In
the case of e-commerce, your tool of choice is eConnect and for Automatic batch
posting in Great Plains from eCommerce application you need Alba Spectrum Posting
Server

3. Great Plains Software Development Factory and key success factors to work with
it. SDF is centralized place with large number of GP Dexterity, eConnect, C# and
VB.Net developers and SQL coders and programmers. You are probably OK with the idea
to pay for Great Plains project manager to travel to your location, however it is
impractical to invite GP programmers onsite. As key success factor in our practice
we see the option to setup test server for your modification, reporting and custom
integration project

4. International Environment Support. As you may know Great Plains is available in
English speaking countries: USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, UK,
Philippines, Oceania, South East Asia, Middle East. Plus it is available in Spanish
for Central, South America and Caribbean region. We also recognize Chinese and
Brazilian businesses in US, where they implement GP for US operations. GP support
in Spanish, Chinese and Portuguese is recommended in International business
