Former Microsoft Business Solutions Great Plains and currently Dynamics GP should be
considered as mid-size ERP application, which usually requires professional
consulting firm involvement to be sold, installed, implemented and customized. Look
at this with the following approach - if you have very old car, you probably can
repair it on your own, however if you bought new one, where you don't know how to
deal with computer, fuel injection, plus you don want car warranty not to be
compromised - you will probably end up with sticking to car maintenance procedures
at your dealership. The same is GP Dynamics - we as Microsoft certified solution
partner have to maintain high standards in delivering solution to you. Another
example would be this - if you decide to be certified scuba diver - you take PADI
course, exams, confined and open water dives as required by PADI. So, Microsoft
Dynamics GP implementation, installation, integration, reporting, customization and
training should be considered as the area where you need professional consultant
assistance. In this small article we would like to give you basic highlights:
. Operating Systems. In the past Great Plains Dynamics was available on Mac and PC
platforms, currently, it is available on Microsoft Windows and Vista only. If you
are Macintosh user, you may still use GP if you use Mac Citrix client, this is
separate scenario and typically it has limitations
. DOS OS. Paying respect to old legacy platforms, we have to tell here, that
Dynamics GP and old GPS Dynamics are actually Microsoft Windows and Mac Graphical
applications, this means that older OS such MS DOS was using so-called PC text mode
and the product from Great Plains Software to deal with this environment was Great
Plains Accounting for DOS. This application is no longer supported and we should
help your to migrate to newer MS ERP
. Dexterity Customizations. These were popular in 1990th and in earlier 2000. In
around 2003 Microsoft announced discontinuation of Great Plains Source Code program
new members enrollment - meaning that newcomers can not get access to DYNAMICS.DIC
dictionary with dex sanscript codes in (if you are GP customer your DYNAMICS.DIC has
dexterity codes stripped out)
. Manufacturing. GP manufacturing is discrete one (not food processing, where it is
process manufacturing)
