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. 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.

Microsoft Dynamics GP works with and like other Microsoft products that are well known throughout businesses worldwide. 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 Serve to access and communicate information managed within the system. It's easy to deploy and configure. In addition, with its modular approach, you can license only the functions you currently need, with the option of adding users and additional capabilities in the future.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 enables everyone in your organization to drive business success by streamlining business processes. Your people and teams can succeed in a highly collaborative work environment by sharing files and information, bridging communication between your employees, customers, and partners. Your people can also work faster and smarter when working with a user interface that is designed for how people really do work.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 helps to ensure consistency, accuracy, and tighter controls across your business with automated approval workflows. Workflows can be set up to fit the unique needs of your business process.

People also have quick and easy access to shared information with enhanced search capabilities across your organization. And you can be confident in the integrity and confidentiality of critical information with improved security features.

Financial Management
Microsoft Dynamics financial management tools present many ways to report, analyze, and publish financial information. Use the powerful analytical tools in your business management solution to ascertain business performance. Watch the business performance of key performance indicators (KPIs) on your intranet portal, streamlined for the benefit of business executives. Export information into a spreadsheet for further analysis. And access feature-rich, flexible report creating capabilities to present business information in the best format for your audience.

 Illustration: Portal applications for Microsoft Dynamics are just one example of functionality that can give employees and partners easy access to information and tasks. So they can monitor financial performance and operations status, and make informed decisions.

• When you implement Microsoft Dynamics solutions for financial management and integrate them with your business database and reporting application, you can increase the level of intelligence in your business. Use advanced reporting and analytical capabilities to gain relevant insight into any aspect of your operation. Plan for the future based on a solid understanding of business events and trends. And establish a meaningful, competitive business strategy.

• Regulatory compliance is a significant concern for many businesses. Compliance can present challenges because of its cost and complexity. Even if regulation doesn't apply to your organization, you might want to do business with companies or in markets that are subject to regulation. Microsoft Dynamics financial management solutions enable your managers to implement and demonstrate effective compliance processes and provide the reports and documentation required in doing so.

Analytics and 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. Dynamics GP taps into the most powerful reporting, analysis, and budgeting tools available—providing real-time insight into the critical information needed for smarter, faster business decisions.

Business Portal

Built on Microsoft .NET technologies, Microsoft Dynamics Business Portal integrates with Microsoft Dynamics GP, so data and processes can be accessed from a Web-based portal. This lets you extend the appropriate applications, information, and processes to employees, customers, and partners across the enterprise, based on their unique roles.

Illustration: Provide employees and partners with secure, browser-based access to consolidated financial information, customer data, inventory queries, purchasing reports, and much more.

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.
