Microsoft Dynamics GP
Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly
Microsoft Business Solutions–Great Plains) is a
comprehensive business-management solution built on
the highly scalable and affordable platform of
Microsoft technologies. It offers a cost-effective
solution for managing and integrating finances,
e-commerce, supply chain, manufacturing, project
accounting, field service, customer relationships,
and human resources.
Microsoft Dynamics GP works with and
like other Microsoft products that are well known
throughout businesses worldwide. That means people
across your organization can use skills and products
that they already know—like a web browser, Microsoft
Office System products, and Microsoft SQL Server—to
access and communicate information managed within the
system.
Financial management
Microsoft Dynamics GP
provides detailed
financial management options that range
from general ledger, accounts payable, and
accounts receivable modules to bank
reporting, cash flow management, and easy
reconciliation. Employees can analyse
financial data by whatever criteria they
require, while the company gains an
accounting solution that reflects changes
instantaneously.

Analytics
Microsoft Dynamics GP provides a
broad range of flexible,
customizable analytics, reporting, and budgeting options
to meet your company's needs—from advanced consolidation
analysis to the simplest reporting requests. Its
applications tap into the most powerful reporting,
analysis, and budgeting tools available—providing
real-time insight into the critical information needed
for smarter, faster business decisions.

interactive reports faster, and reduce administrative
tasks with automated report building and processing.
Business portal
Built on Microsoft .NET
technologies, business portal in Microsoft Dynamics GP
allows you to access data and processes from a Web-based
portal. This lets you extend the appropriate
applications, information, and processes to employees,
customers, and partners across the enterprise, based on
their unique roles.
Illustration: Provide employees and partners
with secure, browser-based access to consolidated
financial information, customer data, inventory queries,
purchasing reports, and much more.
Integration with widely-familiar
applications
Microsoft Dynamics GP works like and
provides a high level of integration with other
widely-familiar tools, such as Microsoft Office System
and Microsoft SQL Server. This allows people across your
organization—as well as business partners—to use skills
they already have to adopt new processes. It also
expedites data sharing across applications. For example,
employees can view and share Microsoft Dynamics GP data
from within Microsoft Office applications, or view
budgeting, planning, and reporting from a Web browser.
And because all of the components are integrated,
information is automatically shared across applications.
This helps eliminate time wasted on redundant
administrative tasks.
