Press Release Summary = Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP ERP should be considered
as midsize business accounting system and as such it requires professional MBS
consulting firm to perform installation, upgrade, migration, integration,
customization and reporting. If you think it is somewhat requiring additional
arguments, think this way - if you purchase new car, you probably purchase it from
authorized automaker's dealer and then you service your new vehicle several years
with the same dealer, while it is on warranty. In the case of Microsoft Dynamics GP
licensing requires you to be enrolled in so-called MBS enhancement program

Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP ERP should be considered as midsize business
accounting system and as such it requires professional MBS consulting firm to
perform installation, upgrade, migration, integration, customization and reporting.
If you think it is somewhat requiring additional arguments, think this way - if you
purchase new car, you probably purchase it from authorized automaker's dealer and
then you service your new vehicle several years with the same dealer, while it is on
warranty. In the case of Microsoft Dynamics GP licensing requires you to be
enrolled in so-called MBS enhancement program. This is a norm in ERP software
industry, as it is helping very diversified business community to automate business
processes, unique for the specific company - it translates into the message that if
you can purchase commuting car with minimal number of unique criteria - when we
speak about ERP consumers community - this is not the case. Let's come through GP
licensing points:
. GP Professional vs. Standard. Standard has limitation on number of concurrent GP
users (at this time 10), number of Payroll employees (500 - this cap was introduced
in 2004, when known number of small and midsize payroll outsourcing firms had to
walk away from GP, due to high cost of GP professional)
. GP annual enhancement program. We often get phone calls from GP customers who
lapsed in Enhancement program and would like to purchase new GP modules, without
being reenrolled into enhancement program. Well, obviously each case is unique, but
the rule is - we or your chosen MBS VAR have negotiate with Microsoft Business
Solutions to renew your licenses and have you reenrolled
. Concurrent Licensing Schema. It is traditional to Great Plains Dynamics, look
back to 1990th and earlier 2000th. The idea is like this - you can have 20
employees, who theoretically use GP, but at one moment of time - only 10 users can
utilize the system as to say simultaneously. And this is probably good approach,
because your people are doing other activities, and don't need to be logged into GP
at the same time
. Sales Tax dilemma. This is the dilemma of choosing local to your state or remote
support GP consulting firm. If remote support firm doesn't have the office in your
state - you don't have to pay state sales tax, however you are required to pay use
tax instead.\\
