Probably, the days when your concerns were mostly about Corporate ERP application selection and implementation are gone and now the question of the day is how to integrate newest technologies, such as eCommerce (B2B and B2C), Shopping Cart, custom items Catalog, promotional pricing, customer specific ecommerce pricelists, Electronic Documents Interchange (often referred as EDI).
We are not university or college professors,
we are rather practicing consultants, so do your homework and compare our ideas and recommendations with our Dynamics GP and SAP Business One Partner channel competition. Let's move on to our paragraphs:
1. eCommerce platforms. Here you typically have to follow two scenarios - either to program ecommerce website internally (typically attributed to large corporations or start up or technology oriented companies with very innovative or completely unique ecommerce business processes), or deploy ecommerce products (usually for smaller companies, especially in Ebay, Paypal, Amazon and other franchisee channels). We also see numerous customers small, midsize and large ones, where ecommerce custom development was done historically and now company has to stick to its custom ecommerce website platform integration to its Corporate ERP via custom programming
2. Being Objective in Corporate ERP integration with eCommerce application. We are trying to be objective, however for you, prospective ecommerce integration customer, you should know that we are engaged as Microsoft Dynamics GP, and SAP Business One VAR and Reseller. Having said that - we have certain interest in helping you with Great Plains Dexterity, eConnect, SAP Business One SDK programming, Dynamics GP Integration Manager integrations design, SAP B1 Data Transfer Workbench integrations setup, programming EDI integration for GP or SAP B1 via SQL Server stored procedures with precise EDI formatting SQL Select statements
3. The risks. In our opinion - risks are typically attributed to poor procurement strategies and vendor management. Please, try to check how many ecommerce projects your prospective Dynamics GP, SAP Business One, Oracle Financials, Axapta, Navision, PeopleSoft, Epicor, Accpac, QuickBooks partner had implemented successfully and try to call to verify with the references. You will find a lot of funny things and important information - some Corporate ERP Resellers decided to hire new perspective Certified Consultants, others decided to phase out your Corporate ERP application prospect, or they might be in transition to be purchased by Venture Capital, or even in business shut down mode
4. ecommerce credit cards processing. Typically your Corporate ERP or Accounting application is not involved in Credit and Debit Card processing, however on eCommerce level you may decide to reverse this trend. Ecommerce credit card processing is too sensitive to give you recommendation in internet article, feel free to call us5. Legacy Great Plains ecommerce options. Some background - Great Plains Software was acquired by Microsoft (instantly renamed into Microsoft Great Plains Business Solutions in 2001). Alba Spectrum is Dynamics GP reseller, VAR, ISV and customization partner in Illinois, Southern California, Texas, Georgia, plus we are happy to help you in Microsoft Dynamics GP International implementation
6. We are trying to be neutral to generic Dynamics GP ecommerce sales process, and that commitment suggests us to stay away from pushing sales of one or two existing eCommerce templates
