Press Release Body: Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP implementing has several phases and it
should be entrusted to professional consultant. Microsoft Business Solutions sells
GP software through certified VAR channel, where each reseller demonstrated required
level of proficiency in Dynamics GP MRP functional and technical areas. We would
like to present Alba Spectrum as nationwide GP integrator with local office in San
Diego, Southern California. Let's review GP ERP:

1. GP database platform. Currently Great Plains Dynamics GP is available
exclusively on Microsoft SQL Server. Obviously your organization should have
reasonable Microsoft expertise to host and support MS SQL internally: DB backup and
recovery, SQL querying, SQL security, optimized hardware and Windows server,
disaster recovery for the server and other areas of general Microsoft IT support
should be covered by your IT team or ask our reps for external support

2. GP as ERP platform for customized business processes. Here you should make your
homework and consider two options. First, try to detect existing add-on or
extension to GP, which supports your proposed altered GP business logic, and if you
can not find existing extension on the market, consider customize Great Plains
internally. Next paragraph will give your highlights in GP customization design

3. Great Plains Dexterity modifications. There are several tools available to do
the job: GP Dexterity, eConnect, SQL Server Stored Procedures, GP Integration
Manager, VBA with Modifier, ReportWriter, Crystal Reports, SRS. If you have good
experience in MS Visual Studio .Net programming and carry C# or VB programmers in
staff, try to review eConnect SDK first. If you need seamless integration with GP
user interface and security realm, consider Microsoft Dexterity (here in-house
expertise is unlikely as Dex is proprietary tool, it is practical to outsource it to
GP ISV partner)

4. GP data conversion and migration. We recommend you to stick to beginning
balances and masters records entry approach, and do not do historical transactions
conversion
