Corporate Accounting: Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 future horizons - notes for consultant
By Andrew Karasev
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.
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
