In 2009 the actual question is your Dynamics GP or Great Plains ERP version.  If you are on Dynamics GP 10.0 or 9.0, then you can enjoy deploying eConnect or eConnect Runtime to program ecommerce integration directly in your Microsoft Visual Studio C# or VB.Net projects.  There is some chance, however, that if you are reading these lines – you are on older Great Plains Dynamics GP version: 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0 or earlier or even on Great Plains on Pervasive SQL Server or Ctree.  In old Great Plains Dynamics you have to program Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedures or automate Great Plains Integration Manager Integration to work every 10 minutes or so.  Let’s review the scenarios.  Again, real life could be more complex, and there you need to call our office to get your case reviewed:

Sometimes we hear complains about this wonderful small and mid-size business Corporate ERP and MRP application.  Well, the software itself is probably perfect, but the reason might be inexperienced SB1 consultant or programmer.  In any case, we recommend you do not give up and seek for second opinion - SAP B1 is wide spread Small Business ERP and you should be able to locate experienced local SAP BO Partner just by entering key words in Google, MSN or Yahoo.  In fact, SAP Business One is currently enjoying small business Corporate ERP implementation parade in the USA, Canada, South, Central America and Caribbean.  Current version of SB1 is 8.8, just released in April of 2010.  This small publication is dedicated to the initial highlights of SAP B1 technology:

Microsoft Dynamics GP is new name for former Great Plains Software Dynamics and eEnterprise ERP applications.  The inheritance is pretty obvious and it is in Great Plains Dexterity platform.  Great Plains Integration Manager module should be considered the first choice in integration projects, including historical data conversion, beginning balances import and even ongoing GL transaction integration, if Great Plains is used on General Ledger level only (like if you have external Payroll service and receive pay period GL transaction from Payroll outsourcer).  The second pick in integrations, and in essence it might be your first choice if you prefer add-hoc programming in C#, VB and SQL with XML comfort level – is eConnect SDK.  The third and pretty non safe method is direct SQL scripting with insert statement and SQL stored procedures:

If you are consulting, or programming for ecommerce oriented company, or you work in Information Technology department, and the organization has Microsoft Dynamics GP, formerly known as Great Plains Dynamics ERP implemented and now you are looking to either implement ecommerce from scratches or integrate existing ecommerce B2B or B2C application, this article is for you.  First of all, you should think about dilemma to choose ecommerce product, of build ecommerce website internally or program it with software development partner firm.  In our opinion, if your are small ecommerce channel reseller, then you should stick to your franchisor ecommerce recommendation:  eBay, etc.  However, if you are trying to start up new technology selling business with ecommerce emphasis, and you have backing capital - you may find that your ecommerce requirements are too unique and existing shopping cart/ecommerce products are too simple to fit your business - the you consider assemble ecommerce in Microsoft Visual Studio C# or VB.Net web project (purchasing ecommerce libraries or SDK from trusted ecommerce vendors).  If you are large corporation, you should do your homework as the final answer depends on various factors.  Again, in our opinion, ecommerce at this time is not ready to be considered as simple choice, it is rather painstaking process of selection, reselection, implementation and reimplementation:

For Microsoft Dynamics GP, formerly known as Great Plains Dynamics ERP and MRP supporting people, who needs to get initial orientation in GP modification scenarios and tools.  In this small publication we are offering the approach, when your business processes are unique and you cannot deploy standard GP business logic or one of the existing Great Plains ISV add-ons or third party modules.  Having this situation foreseen, we would like to recommend you considering solutions tuning approach, when you are getting existing products code fragments and you modify or adapt existing code to fit your unique business processes:

Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler, profiled Commercial Vehicle Group (CVG), one of the world’s top suppliers of cabs and cab-related parts for the commercial trucking industry, needed to automate its implementation of kanban, a demand driven method of inventory replenishment, because the company’s manual approach to the method was complex, time-consuming, and error-prone. CVG implemented Ultriva electronic kanban, a fully automated solution based on Microsoft server and development technologies. Ultriva, the lean leader, with an electronic kanban focus, is featured in the current issue of Automation.com. 

Microsoft CRM, also referred as Microsoft Dynamics CRM has for now pretty long career path since 1999. So far MS CRM proved to be excellent solution for companies with the offices located in various business metros and needing web based coordination.

In short future we also expect Microsoft to integrate CRM with other leading ERP applications, such as Axapta

If you already have Microsoft Dynamics GP implemented in your company, or if you are looking forward to purchase Dynamics GP users licenses and modules, install and implement it, at the time of recession, as it currently is in 2008 and in 2009, we recommend you to consider following ERP selection, sales cycle, data conversion and user training recommendations, as our experience implementing Great Plains since 2004 indicates, they could save you a lot of money and secure successful implementation and switching to production mode:

Cloud computing is a potentially cost-efficient model for provisioning processes, applications and services while making IT

Microsoft Dynamics GP programming and software development is typical as GP ERP system itself is for wide variety of businesses: manufacturing, shipping & receiving, warehouse management & logistics, project organization, non-profit to name few popular.  Great Plains has large number of horizontal and vertical solutions, often referred as third party modules or add-ons, however in some scenarios to tune standard logic or develop small in-house modification to GP is more feasible.  To give you a flavor of what GP customization is, let’s review tools and scenarios:

If you are on the way to evaluate Microsoft Dynamics GP ecommerce integration options, and in your case you already have custom programmed (often in-house) ecommerce web application in production and you do not like the idea to redeploy ecommerce on new platform (and write off investment in legacy ecommerce program) - we respect your approach and would like to recommend you this small publication.  Instead of promising so-called "turn-key" ecommerce to Corporate ERP tandem, we recommend you so-called "solutions" approach, where your ecommerce programmers deploy and tune connectors, libraries or code samples, proven and tested in multiple ecommerce integration to Dynamics GP environments:

We saw large number of Great Plains customers, initially purchasing software from one Dynamics GP reseller and then having to switch GP VAR due to failed data migration from legacy ERP system to Great Plains.  There might be various reasons, and among them the fact - Corporate ERP data conversion requires technical skills and often in-depth consultant expertise in table structure, advanced SQL queries and fixes.  When you are setting implementation requirements, it is not in general the perfect idea to move "all" from your legacy accounting to the new ERP system - instead it is a way better to agree on minimal conversion or try to find reasonable balance on what should be converted and what should be left in the legacy application for future inquiries.  If you must have complex data conversion, see the details below:

Microsoft Dynamics GP, formerly known as Great Plains Dynamics and eEnteprise, has reasonable selection of Dynamics GP ISV products and add-ons, including custom modules with Barcode scanning support.  However, Great Plains interface potentially opens Barcode data integration ports in every application screen, where you can enter new data or update existing records.  This is why you can always design new requirements for Barcoding integration in GP.  Let's review barcode scanning and integration options:
