Microsoft Great Plains software development, customizations, reporting. Microsoft
Dexterity programming as reliable alternative to newer technologies and platforms,
such as .Net, C# and VB MS Visual Studio development, eConnect, XML: Web Services.

Alba Spectrum Group is proud to announce Microsoft Great Plains Dexterity group
development headcount increase. We are serving USA nation-wide from our Dexterity
project management facilities in Houston, TX and Chicago, IL. Luis Leung (Alba
Spectrum Texas) and Andrew Karasev (Alba Spectrum Illinois) are lead project
managers for Microsoft Great Plains Dexterity customization, integration, reporting,
form modification projects. Some Microsoft Dexterity technological features:
. Sanscript. This is Dexterity programming language. It is actually compiled and
stored in Dynamics.dic with development source code. Dex is cursor oriented DB
accessing programming language, however you can also call MS SQL Server stored
procedures (with SQL Select statement aggregation logic)
. Alternate Forms. Technically you can modify any form you like in Dynamics.Dic -
original Microsoft Dynamics GP objects repository. But you might encounter future
upgrade issues - original forms are subject to redesign by Microsoft Dynamics
subdivision without any notice
. Dexterity Reports. As software developer you can create new Dexterity report,
assuming that you will also provide new Dex form, where report will be getting
parameters
. Dexterity Alternatives. In 1990th the alternatives were VBA - you could modify
Greta Plains form with Modifier and include VBA scripting into your modification -
Dynamics.vba is the dictionary, storing your modification. In 2000th you have .Net
instruments, such as eConnect with XML Web Services interface. Technically eConnect
is very powerful, but comparing to Dexterity - Dex has access to all Dynamics GP
objects, while eConnect is secondary enabler - it has access to objects, covered by
eConnect development team. Future direction will probably give more options to
Business Portal developer, using either eConnect or manipulating another future
interface for Great Plains objects
. Dexterity Advancements. These are typically related to Microsoft Great Plains
Source Code Programming. Very good extension is posting server, allowing ecommerce
developer automatically post GP batches in such modules as Sales Order Processing,
GL, Inventory Control, POP, and others
. Comparison to Other Microsoft Dynamics Products. Microsoft Dynamics ERP family
include Axapta, Navision, Solomon and with some restrictions Microsoft CRM.
Dexterity should be compared with similar technologies: Axapta Microsoft Dynamics AX
- MorphX / X++, Navision Microsoft Dynamics NAV C/SIDE
. Heterogeneous. Or cross platform software development: Oracle, IBM, Sybase,
Ingress: Oracle Financials/Ebusiness Suite, Lotus Notes Domino. Microsoft SQL
Server technology gives you Linked Server concept, Oracle gives you similar
technologies, plus from Java/J2EE you can create various JDBC/ODBC bridges or native
drivers
