e-Commerce web site integration is real challenge, especially when your Corporate ERP is Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly known as Great Plains Dynamics, eEnterprise, Great Plains Select, Great Plains Accounting for DOS, Windows and Macintosh), and your ecommerce web application is PHP/MySQL/Linux or Unix/Oracle based.

We are happy to connect Microsoft World with Non-Microsoft based platforms,Microsoft Dynamics GP ECommerce Partner in Chicago  Articles Databases and concepts.  We have several off the shelf products, as well as so-called solutions (where we are ready to deploy proven ecommerce integration codes and tune them to your business requirements).  Let's take a look at typical Microsoft Dynamics GP eCommerce integration project:
1. ecommerce to GP integration frequency.  Yes, you are right, this is one of the key ecommerce to Microsoft Dynamics GP integration questions or FAQ.  Every customer would prefer real time or quasi real time integration (meaning that ecommerce shopping cart is sent to GP instantly or with very short time lag - let's say 20 minutes).  Ideally - this is very cool, however the business is often about saving money on purchasing and in sales just the opposite - try to sell in marketing buzz as dear as possible.  We are happy to estimate both scenarios for local customers in Chicago, Northern Illinois, North West Indiana, Southern Wisconsin.  When we are talking about Microsoft Dynamics GP ecommerce integration limitations, we usually mean GP Integration Manager - this is really user friendly tool, but if you are not a programmer or software developer - you have to call Integration Manager manually via GP User Interface.  However, if you are experienced IT specialist or programmer, you can schedule IM integration via Windows macro add-ons (or rescue to Microsoft Dynamics GP IM Scheduler tool, which could be purchased from Microsoft Business Solutions, if you are current customer of Microsoft Dynamics GP and in good standing with GP annual enhancement program)
2. If Quasi Real Time is not the way to go and you really need Dynamics GP ecommerce real time integration.  Then the answer is eConnect SDK for Microsoft Dynamics GP.  eConnect is friendly to experienced Microsoft Visual Studio C# on VB.Net programmers, who are familiar with MS SQL Server Stored Procedures and XML
3. eCommerce Order Connector for Dynamics GP and earlier versions of Great Plains Dynamics.  If you would like solution, built in SQL Stored Procedures and which works reasonably simple, without the need to program in eConnect, we have Order Connector.  This product sends ecommerce shopping cart to Sales Invoice or Order, plus it creates or updates Customer information
4. Posting Server.  Neither GP Integration Manager, not eConnect post Dynamics GP batches - batch posting is designed as routine for GP user.  Alba Spectrum Posting Server allows you to mark batches for automatic posting and they are posted by our Posting Server every few seconds.  Posting Server is perfect add-on for GP ecommerce application, as well as for any possible eConnect coded application, which needs to post GP batches: EDI, Purchase Orders and Purchase Receipts integration, Payroll integration, etc
5. Local eCommerce integration service is available in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego.  We also serve you USA nationwide and internationally - we speak English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian
