Microsoft Great Plains or recent name Dynamics GP has newly redesigned onMicrosoft.Net & Sharepoint platform web interface Microsoft Dynamics GP BusinessPortal. At this time BP host such web modules as Requisition Management (formereRequisition), Order Management (former eOrder), HR and Employee Self Service,Electronic Document Delivery (distributing SOP invoices to your customers) andothers. We were watching closely earlier versions of Business Portal, in ouropinion, version 2.5 was the one to consider conservative implementation, version3.0 comes together with GP 9.0, now with GP 10.0 Microsoft delivers BP 10.0. in ouropinion, which is non-official, former ASP eXXX products, such as eOrder andeRequisition were very solid and reliable and we saw large number of successfulimplementations. Now it is the time to move to Microsoft Dynamics GP BusinessPortal platform Licensing. At this time BP user license is cheaper than GP user license it isabout $50 per user for small number of users, we think BP is for mid-size and largebusinesses, however if you are small business and have strong IT team, you can goahead as well .Net platform. This bullet is for clarification Microsoft Dynamics projectcomes together with .Net progress. In some cases Microsoft puts technologies intothe intra company competition: Microsoft Dexterity vs. C#, former project Green ERPmodules unification (on the base of purchased Great Plains, Solomon, Navision,Axapta later on this trend was kind of deemphasized). Business Portal is based on.Net platform, and as you may be aware, dot net is ASPX, versus former Microsoft ASPconcept this is why eXXX product line had to be rewritten From Microsoft Dexterity to BP. In our opinion, Business Portal enables the movefrom former Great Plains Dexterity programming to Microsoft Visual Studio C#programming, where developer will have complete control over GP objects and businessprocesses workflow. Sometimes we hear counter opinions something like thefollowing: it is too difficult to detach GP from its Dexterity architecture so thefuture might reveal complete GP redesign (where the name might be also dropped tostress generic Microsoft Dynamics ERP). Having said this, we believe that BusinessPortal trend is for the future and to proof its endurance
