implementation, customization, report design, integration and software
development notes. Illinois MRP customers needs and solutions highlights
Microsoft Business
Solutions Great Plains is very robust mid-size ERP platform. With Microsoft
Dynamics project trends, GP is now integrating with Microsoft Office product
stack and exposed through such tools as eConnect and Microsoft Dexterity to
Microsoft developers community. In this small article we would like to
highlight Illinois businesses specifically and how Microsoft Dynamics GP fits
- Distribution &
Logistics. The city of
Chicago is one of the largest railway hubs, plus the west suburbs we see
flourishing warehouses with light manufacturing & assembly with following
delivery across the Midwest, US nationwide and Canada. Microsoft Dynamics
GP could be integrated with legacy cargo tracking system through eConnect or
SQL stored procedures integration. Considering XML Web Services interface
option and MS SQL Server linked server mechanism – such an integration could
work in cross-platform environment: Oracle, Sybase, IBM DBII data migration
to GP on MS SQL Server
- Chicago downtown
service businesses. Such
businesses as advertisement & publishing usually needs robust collection
management functionality, allowing to assign collection calls to regional
and product collection officers. In recruiting & staffing you could
consider deployment of some features of GP Project Accounting, where your
customers are your projects and you have your temps log time & expenses
against these project to be accurately billed out.
- Food Processing.
This is typically referred as process manufacturing, when you can not
exactly predict what will be the outcome from one unit of incoming
ingredient (opposite to discrete manufacturing). Process manufacturing
requires such third parties or custom modules, which allows you to catch
random weight items, store them in units in your inventory and then sell by
pounds to retail or small wholesale customers – this is classical Dexterity
customization realm
- Agriculture.
When we are talking about farmers cooperation, good example would be repair
crews, serving elevators and farm machinery – Service Management Suite fits
this scenario with possible customization and extended reporting
- Non-profit &
government. Microsoft
Dynamics GP 9.0 offers rich non-for-profit application logic.
