Microsoft Dynamics GP implementation typically includes GP licenses purchase, installation, data conversion and migration (often with data massage in Excel), user training, potential customization and modification, reports design and integration with legacy applications.
Dynamics GP VAR selection should be precise ? GP partner expertise is important and you should get clear understanding in your potential Great Plains reseller capabilities. Alba Spectrum combines local service with remote support, which is available virtually Worldwide. Let’s review GP technology and implementation:
1. Great Plains Dexterity. This is the heart of GP technology, programming language and EDI, written in C. Dexterity is the tool of choice if you are planning GP customization. It is probably fair to say, that most of Great Plains Add-On are programmed in GP Dex. Dexterity customization support is very important, you should not plan GP version update without having custom module upgrade plan
2. Great Plains Installation. GP is available on Microsoft SQL Server platform: 2000 or 2005. If you are comfortable to support MS SQL Server in-house ? you should have advantage, selecting GP over another ERP. Please, take into consideration that GP is mid-market ERP application and its installation is not recommended for somebody, who is not certified as Great Plains Dynamics consultant
3. GP data conversion. We recommend you to plan this prior to contacting your GP reseller. Data migration should be really modest and you should not be very optimistic about migrating everything to GP. Review scenario , when you are just entering beginning balances in GL and move customers and vendors via GP Integration Manager
