If you prefer relaxed style of your new ERP/MPR implementation, provided by local
folks - consultants and developers, Alba Spectrum is probably a good choice.
Microsoft Dynamics GP or its former brand name - Great Plains Software
eEnterprise/Dynamics in some posts are referred as requiring technical touch. This
may be a true statement, however we think about it as you probably don't think how
car repair store does its job - you simply get it done. With Microsoft Great Plains
you may need some homework, for example you need to understand Microsoft
technologies: SQL Server, Microsoft Great Plains Dexterity (if you plan to undertake
customization, or software modification route). At the same time, we think that if
you believe that technology is too simple - why would you even have IT department or
person in staff? Some technology highlights for you:
. GP Reporting. There are different opinions out there, in our opinion - you can
use reliable reporting tools and the question is rather about creating reporting
base: such as SQL stored procedure or SQL view - if you can't create adequate report
base - then neither Crystal Reports not MS SQL Server Reporting Services won't do
the job. GP has built-in ReportWriter and you can use it as the user to intuitively
modify standard reports
. Integrations. Each business is to some extent unique (otherwise how would you
expect your business to be competitive?) - this nice fact typically leads you to
recognizing the drawback - you have to extend your ERP with integration to your
unique business system (it might be realized in MS Excel, MS CRM, Oracle, Act!,
Onyx, or custom software application)
. Working with MBS partner. When you deal with software installation, following
data conversion, reports design, possible modifications, version update or also
referred as upgrade - you should seek partner-like relations. Technology is not
something like shoes or closes, where you could expect perfect quality - MRP
technology has to accommodate existing accounting application with your unique
business processes - and typically your technology partner tries the best - from
your side be tolerable and patient and try to contribute
