Press Release Body: Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP implementation, software licenses
sale, data conversion, migration, installation, custom development, integration and
report design is trusted by Microsoft Business Solutions to its VAR and Partner
channel. If you need new user licenses - you should be current in Annual
Enhancement program, if you need to be reenrolled, you can give us a call or contact
your current GP VAR of record. Alba Spectrum serves you locally in Chicago, Orange
County, San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston and Dallas, plus we provide remote support
from our centralized Great Plains Support Call Center and GP Dexterity Software
Development Factory. This publication is to give you some background on Alba
Spectrum services and case studies:

1. GP Initial Implementation. We assume that you are in process of Corporate ERP
Selection and need comparison chart, GP executive presentation and technical FAQ
session. Great Plains License cost is subject to change, so we encourage you to
call us for getting current picture. In the past licensing was divided into two
lines: GP Professional and GP Standard, however at this time it is transition to
Business Ready (where you have all-in-one licensing scenarios)

2. GP custom development and Dex programming. If you feel that you need
customization and modification and out-of-the-box ERP will not cover your sort of
unique business processes (and this is normal and respected), we think you should
review existing GP add-ons and contact GP ISV partners, who develops and supports
specific add-on to get full picture and clarity on how does it fit to your
requirements. If you think that there are no third party products to cover your
needs, we are happy to develop custom add-on to cover the gap

3. GP Integrations projects. Current trend is to deploy eConnect SDK in challenging
integrations, where you discovered that Great Plains Integration Manager module
doesn't do the job. IM itself has OLE based connectors as well as new connectors,
based on eConnect technology. In some cases, especially when eConnect seems to be a
bit heavy, we recommend light weight SQL stored procedures to provide simple
integrations

4. GP reports design. Here we see two competing technologies: MS SQL Server
Reporting Service and Crystal Reports. In both scenarios, in our opinion, you
should not utterly believe in report wizard to be all-mighty, but rather build
report engine in SQL Stored Procedure or SQL View and use reporting tool for just
report design (not data selection and manipulation)
