Great Plains Consultant Point of View – Dynamics GP perspectives

We are very optimistic and we do not share several pessimistic Ex-consultants comments on former Great Plains Dynamics.  Dynamics GP has one of the leading positions on US ERP and MRP market, especially in Discrete Manufacturing, non-profit accounting, integration stack with Microsoft Office, Outlook, Sharepoint.  

Robust Microsoft Dexterity platform secures GP code abstraction from current turbulent trends in OS and DB platforms.  Dynamics GP Business Portal opens wide horizons of Web Based modules: HR employee self service, Order Management, Requisition Management, Electronic Document Delivery.  Let us give you additional pluses and advantages of Great Plains Dynamics GP:

1.       SQL Reporting.  This ERP application is hosted in Microsoft SQL Server 2008, 2005, or 2000, and this fact opens for you such industry reporting tools as Crystal Reports, Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services or SSRS, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, including its Pivoting tables

2.       FRx Financial reporting.  This is proven leader in mid-size business financial reporting: Balance Sheet, P&L, Statement of Cash Flow plus consolidated versions of these reports.  In fact, FRx is also available for such high end Microsoft Business Solutions ERP and RMP applications, as Axapta or Dynamics AX and Navision or Dynamics NAV

3.       Words about buggy CD and Service Packs.  These might be partially legitimate comments for older Great Plains versions, such as GP 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0.  However since the introduction of Great Plains Dynamics version 7.5 all the bugs were wiped out.  In our opinion QA turned around in earlier 2000

4.       Competition with other small business ERP and MRP.  Our concern was about SAP Business One back in 2005.  SAP B1 was so promising and looked as solid rock, that we heard concerns from Microsoft Business Solutions reps themselves.  With certain pick up in business activity in 2006-2008, SAP BO however didn’t meet initial expectations, it is still very strong competitor however
