Grow your business with confidence: Microsoft Dynamics GP

Microsoft Dynamics GP is a richly featured business management solution that allows you to use familiar, powerful software to operate and grow your business.

Microsoft Dynamics GP removes needless obstacles to the productivity and effectiveness of the people and processes in your business. Connecting all your business processes in one streamlined, flexible management infrastructure, Microsoft Dynamics GP allows your people to do their jobs in the way they like, at outstanding levels of productivity.

The solution also provides you with ways to build stronger, more productive relationships with your key stakeholders—customers and trading partners. The extensive reporting and collaborative capabilities in Microsoft Dynamics GP give you the information you need to make informed business decisions. Microsoft Dynamics partners can also help you implement and fine-tune the solution to ensure that you reap the best possible results from it.

Increase business productivity on all levels

Provide everyone in your organization—from your chief executive officer (CEO) to your finance managers, your salespeople to your warehouse staff—with the information, tools, and collaboration capabilities they need to be more productive.

• Streamline work details:  Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 introduces Action Panes, a graphical, RoleTailored command bar—inspired by the Ribbon in the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Action Pane allows Microsoft Dynamics GP users to perform actions on multiple records on list pages, enabling users to preview and filter data—without the need to open multiple windows.
   
• Facilitate collaboration among employees and with your business partners and customers. By using Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 together, your teams can collaborate using business information, reports, and other documents available on your company's intranet and extranet sites. And with remote access through the Business Portal, you can provide secure access to your employees, partners, and customers at any time from any Internet connection.
   
• Automate notifications and approvals with streamlined workflows. Create automated, consistent business processes that maximize efficiency by involving the right people at the right time. For example, you can streamline purchase order processing with automated approval routings tailored to actual business roles in your organization. Workflow functions include an audit trail of task ownership and actions to ensure compliance and accountability.
  

Maximize your ability to access information
Your people can take advantage of greater business insight no matter whether they're working in Microsoft Dynamics GP or another application. In addition, users can simply search for information rather than always needing to know how to navigate to a specific report.

• Find the right information quickly with advanced search capabilities. Reduce the time and effort needed to find information, so you can spend time on tasks that add more value. With Office SharePoint Server, you can define what is searchable and can initiate searches from Microsoft Dynamics GP, Office SharePoint Server, or Desktop Search that return not only structured Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 data, but also unstructured information, including Microsoft Office Word 2007 documents, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 spreadsheets, and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 e-mail messages.
   
• Facilitate strategic decision-making and flexible reporting. Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 contains more than 75 pre-established Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services reports and more than 200 Office Excel 2007 reports with refreshable data. The reports give people the data they need to make confident decisions. And, whether they're working in Microsoft Dynamics GP or another application, employees can store, launch, and view reports through Office SharePoint Server Report Libraries

Use familiar technology that's IT friendly
Microsoft Dynamics GP offers a deep level of integration with Microsoft technology that works with applications familiar to your employees.

• Reduce information technology (IT) workloads. With proactive prompts during the install and automatic checking of system prerequisites, you can speed the installation and configuration process. Microsoft Dynamics GP also allows you to easily implement a strong and auditable security model.
   
• Adopt technology that enables rich functionality. By leveraging Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, Web Services, Microsoft SQL Server, and .NET technologies, Microsoft Dynamics GP offers a rich set of functionality that is on a standard platform, enabling IT staff to further extend the solution to meet the specific needs of your organization.

Streamline critical business tasks
Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 has added more than 120 features to its already robust feature set—all created to help improve your ability to streamline critical business tasks.

• Manage planning and production with greater agility. Improved material requirements planning (MRP) capabilities with a new pegging window provide suggestions for orders and what-if scenarios to provide greater insight when planning.
  
• Experience more flexible budgeting. Budgets can now span multiple fiscal years and be tied to specific business budgets such as grants and funds instead of finance years.
  
• Track customer changes more efficiently. Track customer changes by "effective date," so when a service call is needed, the technician can be dispatched to the correct location.
  
• Engage in a more streamlined collections process. Improved collections aging reports, improved identification of customers to focus collections efforts, and added information on template collection letters help create a more effective—and cost-effective—collections process.
