Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP and MRP application, formerly known as Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise if popular accounting, Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing, Inventory, Manufacturing and Bill of Materials, Warehouse Management, Payroll & HR, eCommerce back office application for mid-size business. It fits to the majority of industries, especial attention is paid to address non for profit needs in Grant Management module (based on Analytical Accounting), non-profit commitments and procurement management, web based Dynamics GP Business Portal (excellent trend to Microsoft Sharepoint). If you are looking for new ERP or accounting application for your organization, located in California, Nevada, in Los Angeles and San Diego business metros, we recommend you to watch Dynamics GP Great Plains presentation. However, being realistic and expecting some of the businesses to be on the tight recession budget in 2009, please also read this publication to understand your options to cut Dynamics GP support cost:
1. Local service with support from US nationwide support center and Dynamics GP software development factory. This is especially actual in LA and Orange County CA metros, where heavy traffic forces you to pay higher Dynamics GP consultants mileage and travel rates. In our opinion, good idea is to come through Dynamics GP sales cycle locally, then meet your Great Plains consulting team, and have them serve you instantly on demand over web sessions. If you are in Santa Barbara, then parking fee is probably zero, but still potentially instant support is the convenience and lack of travel is definitely a cost saver
2. Dynamics GP Test Server. This is huge progress, comparing to having your Dynamics GP reseller to test your custom Dynamics GP add-ons internally. If you carry robust IT department – the cost of having extra small server and setting up required security for your Dynamics GP technology partner is really minimal. But, here you save on Dynamics GP customization projects
3. Coming through recession with minimal Dynamics GP support cost. Try several approaches: try to be skeptical to new versions “revolutionary” functionality breaking through. Obviously new Dynamics GP version should move you to the point of comfort, that your Windows 2008 and SQL 2008 servers are not supported and Sharepoint and Workflow features are now available, however if your business processes are sort of independent or not committed to these features and versions, you may consider to check with your Dynamics GP consultant if these new features are really required or crucial
