Integrated business management solutions for financial, supply chain and customer relationship management

The success of your company is directly related to the success of the people who work for you. 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. Microsoft Dynamics GP works like and with familiar Microsoft software-easing adoption and reducing the risks inherent with implementing a new solution. 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. 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 in a way that can help you drive business success.

It's easy to deploy and configure. In addition, with its pricing approach, you can license only the functions you currently need, with the option of adding users and additional capabilities in the future. Read on for more information about who these solutions are for, what they do, and how to get them.

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.
