However, being realistic and expecting some of the businesses to be on the tight recession budget in 2009, please also read this publication to understand your options to cut Dynamics GP support cost:
1. Local service with support from US nationwide support center and Dynamics GP software development factory. This is especially actual in LA and Orange County CA metros, where heavy traffic forces you to pay higher Dynamics GP consultants mileage and travel rates. In our opinion, good idea is to come through Dynamics GP sales cycle locally, then meet your Great Plains consulting team, and have them serve you instantly on demand over web sessions. If you are in Santa Barbara, then parking fee is probably zero, but still potentially instant support is the convenience and lack of travel is definitely a cost saver
2. Dynamics GP Test Server. This is huge progress, comparing to having your Dynamics GP reseller to test your custom Dynamics GP add-ons internally. If you carry robust IT department – the cost of having extra small server and setting up required security for your Dynamics GP technology partner is really minimal. But, here you save on Dynamics GP customization projects
3. Coming through recession with minimal Dynamics GP support cost. Try several approaches: try to be skeptical to new versions “revolutionary” functionality breaking through.
