Corporate Accounting: Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 future horizons - notes for consultant

Article Title:

Article Body:

As we are writing this 
article - a lot of new ERP related information about Microsoft Business 
Solutions products: Axapta (Microsoft Dynamics AX), Navision (Microsoft Dynamics 
NAV), Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft Great Plains is published on the daily 
basis, especially with the advance of the so-called "Project Green".  We would 
like to be a bit pessimistic and toss in new ideas about future Microsoft MRP 
products development and marketing positioning as we see the development on 
European (including UK, East Europe: Russia, Poland, Czech Republic, plus 
Southern Europe: Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece), Latin American (including 
Brazil, where Microsoft is starting from scratch) and Asian ERP markets.
<ul style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in" type="disc">
Microsoft Dynamics GP 
vs. Microsoft Dynamics AX.  This is probably the question of future 
positioning of these two ERPs.  Axapta has modern design (the end of 20th 
century), while Great Plains Software Dynamics was designed in the beginning 
of 1990th as Great Plains Dexterity application
Microsoft Dynamics GP 
USA MRP market.  This seems to be the stronghold of Microsoft Great Plains.  
Microsoft Business Solutions makes its Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 the first 
wave of its Project Green with the switch from Microsoft Dexterity to .Net and 
Visual Studio development: C# and VB, plus the increased role of eConnect 
(initially introduced for eCommerce web XML developers, now the middle tier to 
resolve Great Plains Dexterity peculiarity with generic .Net development)
Microsoft Dynamics GP 
European ERP Market.  In Europe Microsoft Great Plains is leaving its French, 
German, Spanish and Dutch positions (leaving current Microsoft Great Plains 
clients to switch to Navision or Axapta). Microsoft Dynamics GP will stay in 
UK, Australia, New Zealand, LATAM: Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, 
Chile, Argentina, Guatemala, Salvador, Panama, Caribbean
Microsoft Dynamics 
CRM.  Microsoft CRM 3.0 will become the CRM frontend for all the Microsoft 
Dynamics ERPs, including Great Plains, Axapta, Navision, Solomon.  The most 
interesting part is Microsoft CRM integration, when you can automatically move 
Customers, Quotes, Orders from Microsoft CRM to accounting back end - here you 
have two options: use Microsoft Great Plains CRM integration (based on BizTalk 
for CRM 1.2 or eConnect based integration for MS CRM 3.0 and GP 9.0)
Oracle/Java/EJB/J2EE.  
Here we have to appeal to our third party programming expertise and 
knowledge/experience with Oracle Financials/Oracle E-Business Suite/Oracle 
Applications development and Programming
SAP MRPs.  SAP is 
another traditional MRP market leader.  For years ago SAP purchased Israel 
made MRP software application, now known as SAP Business One.  SAP Business 
One is seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Office (what is the next step from 
SAP R/3 mySAP project Mendocino with Microsoft for the next few years), plus 
SBO is integrated on the Sales and Purchasing transaction consolidation level 
wit mySAP/SAP/R3.  In the case of SAP - you will need 
customization/integration partner to help you with the above consolidation
International 
aspects.  Well - as you can conclude from this whitepaper and our past 
publications - Microsoft Great Plains / Dynamics GP is not supported for non 
English or Spanish speaking countries.  In the case of Brazil/Sao Paulo/Rio de 
Janeiro/Salvador - population speaks in Brazilian Portuguese.  SAP Business 
One could be a good spoke/hub ERP application to be consolidated to Microsoft 
Dynamics GP/NAV or AX in the USA/UK/France (including 
Canada/Montreal/Quebec)/Germany/Europe
