Microsoft Great Plains or current product name is Microsoft Dynamics GP, resentversion is 10.0, just released in July 2007. Great Plains came the long way, beingdesigned in earlier 1990th on Great Plains Software Dexterity platform, which inturn was architectured in C programming language as a IDE and the shell. Dexterityplayed core role in Great Plains architecture, until GP was acquired by Microsoft. As you can imagine, Microsoft has its own long term software developmentarchitecture Microsoft .Net. It is interesting technology historical phase, whenMicrosoft was in the decision to either adopt Java or invent its own programminglanguage, which should be easily understood to Java developers community, and at thesame time, which would serve .Net object model C# was the way to go Project Green transformation into Microsoft Dynamics. In September 2005 Microsoftannounced ERP lines rename: Microsoft Great Plains was renamed into MicrosoftDynamics GP, and respectively Axapta into AX, Navision into NAV, Solomon into SL,Microsoft CRM into Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Project Green was kind of the promise tothe future redesign into Microsoft Financials, Microsoft Logistics, MicrosoftManufacturing, etc. modules set, where they modules would be built upon one of theMBS ERP products Great Plains, Solomon, Navision, Axapta, but they should of looseoriginating product dependence and become compatible with other Microsoft ERPmodules. Microsoft Dynamics. In our unofficial opinion, Microsoft Dynamics changed theparadigm to the one, proclaiming the way to grow. If you are midsize business Microsoft Dynamics GP is a good choice, and if you are growing to upper midsize andlarge business AX is the way to switch over. Both Axapta and Great Plains havetheir proprietary architectures: Morph X++ and Microsoft Dexterity respectively, sothe way to enable these ERP for .Net developers community, Microsoft designed suchtools as eConnect for Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP Microsoft Dexterity. It is still playing very important role DYNAMICS.DIC,Dynammics.set, Dex.ini, DEX_ROW_ID - these are attributes of Microsoft Dynamics GPDexterity. Dexterity allows you to manipulate and customize virtually all GP forms,reports tables and business logics. Dex is proprietary language with sanscriptscripting code, and learning curve for new developer is very long so we don trecommend in-house dex development, rather you should contact Microsoft Great PlainsDexterity development partner.
