Good example in Dynamics GP integration with Microsoft RMS. We have seen so many different requirements and scenarios in integration mapping: how you map your RMS item numbers and GP Inventory items, for instance. The decision was made to have this integration not as out-of-the-box solution, but in the form of codes and interfaces options ready for assembly
2. EDI integration. If you are looking for inexpensive solution, where your Dynamics GP info is exported in EDI compliant format, we do this in complex SQL Select statements directly from GP DB tables. In the case of importing EDI documents into Dynamics GP, we offer advanced ODBC GP Integration Manager integration, where we read EDI text files directly in IM, or do import into staging SQL tables for Advanced SQL View and this view resolves virtually all EDI formats. If your EDI format is XML based, then there are the ways to get it via GP eConnect
3. eCommerce integration. We offer several products here. Order Connector - it is for simple SOP transactions import from ecommerce orders. This product is written in direct SQL Stored Procedures and has amazing real time performance, it is able to handle unlimited number of ecommerce invoices per minute.
