Press Release Body: Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP version update requires consultant
involvement and it is typically done through Great Plains Certified Partner and
Reseller, also referred as VAR or Value Added Reseller. In upgrade initiative
important role is Customization code review by Great Plains Dexterity or eConnect
programmer as if your new version will fail in custom logic, all the company and
business operations might be at risk. If you have extensive custom reporting,
written in ReportWriter, Crystal Reports or Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services
(or even in Microsoft Access reports) are also important in version update. Current
version of Microsoft Dynamics GP is 10.0. We are comfortable in upgrade from
versions: 3.2, 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 9.0 as well as data migration from
Pervasive SQL to MS SQL Server, Great Plains Accounting for DOS and Windows (9.2 and
9.5) migration to Dynamics GP. Our special attention is to technically challenging
projects with advanced integration, modifications, EDI, data migration and
conversion. GP technology overview:

1. Great Plains Dexterity platform. Great Plains Software built Great Plains
Dynamics on Dex platform back in earlier 1990th. Dex in turn is the shell written
in C programming language to provide some level of ERP transferability to different
computer and DB platforms. Dex programming requires dedication and years of
experience, it is not recommended to hire newcomers to Great Plains Dexterity
programming, especially considering the fact that Dex Source Code program is only
available to limited number of GP channel partners and ISV

2. Service Pack and upgrade paths. Microsoft Dynamics GP as well as majority of
corporate ERP and MRP systems are dependent on the right service pack and upgrade
path recommendation. If you do not have GP certification and access to recent
recommendations, you are probably at risk and should not try upgrade on your own
(from downloads, such as MSDN, for example)

3. Hardware Upgrade and Recommendations. In general, on your GP customer source you
can find recommended hardware for small, midsize and large corporate business, if
you are not sure, you should check with your Great Plains VAR of record

4. Great Plains Dynamics GP remote support. Here you probably need Great Plains
Technical consultant with reasonable hourly rates to support you with reasonable
response time from GP Call Center. If you have modifications, then call center
should have direct connection with Great Plains Software Development factory
