In the past we already described the advantages of deployingDynamics GP in larger firm - it has reasonably reliable and scalable DBplatform NS SQL Server and has standard functionality ERP and MRP logic, versusmore expensive Corporate ERP rich functionality applications: Oracle EBusinessSuite, SAP mySAP or R/3, etc.  When weare talking about standard Corporate ERP logic advantages, these are saving onERP software and user licenses, as you do not have to pay for rich logic (mostof which you will never use).  In thecase, that some of the logic needs to be modified, Dynamics GP is open formodifications, customizations via GP Dexterity, eConnect integrationprogramming, and other tools.  Now, let'sreview features in paragraphs: 1.       UnlimitedNumber of Companies.  If your corporationhas multiple subsidiaries in the USA, Canada and Internationally, and if youplan to deploy Great Plains in headquarters on the single installation, thenyou can create unlimited number of companies and enable remote and foreignusers access via Citrix or Terminal Server. Microsoft Dynamics GP licensing schema allows unlimited number ofcompanies at this time and that was historical feature since the introductionof Great Plains Dynamics in earlier 1990th. Please, check with your Dynamics GP Partner if GP is localized for theforeign country, where you have your subsidiary.  In general Dynamics GP 10.0 is localized forEnglish speaking countries: USA, Canada, Australia, UK, New Zealand, Oceania,South Africa, Caribbean, South East Asia (in the countries where English is thelanguage of the business) and Spanish Speaking Latin America (with somerestrictions, please note that Brazil is not Spanish speaking country and GP isnot localized there).  Please, note thatyou should consider some technical nuances for Latin American companyinstallation, as you should choose specific SQL DB collation which fits toSpanish accents - there are known issues with FRx consolidated reporting, whenReporting tree is consolidating GP companies with different SQL collations 2.       Consolidation.  If all your subsidiaries could be implementedin Great Plains - this is perfect.  However,if GP is not localized for the part of your branches, please, instead of tryingto implement GP in English, rather consider implementing either another SmallBusiness Corporate ERP application, such as SAP Business One, or even keeplocal accounting, assuming that it allows you to export GL transactions in CSVor Tab delimited file.  Then, this filecould be scheduled or manually integrated via GP Integration Managerintegration.  In this case, we recommendyou integration on General Ledger GL transactions level only.  This method should allow you to have GLdetailed control and reasonable internal and external audit.  In the case, when you foreign operations asin initiation or very modest in number of transactions, consider exporting itsGL Balance, P&L or Trial Balance into Excel worksheet, which could beconsolidated with your FRx financial reports 3.       Integrationwith legacy IT infrastructure systems. It is rather unlikely that in the publicly traded corporation you do nothave Business Management Systems, such as Sales Order Processing in Oracle, EDI(Electronic Document Interchange) server, Barcode automation for WarehouseManagement and Shipping & Receiving, GP general fit to your DiscreteManufacturing requirements.  In ouropinion these business processes and technologies mapping should be done inseveral Specification Review sessions with your Dynamics GP VAR 4.       IndustryVerticals and Horizontals.  Great PlainsDynamics GP is traditionally good in such industries as Non Profit and GrantsManagement (based on Analytical Accounting in GP), ecommerce web portals withstrong behind the scenes logistics and on order discrete manufacturing, FreightForwarding with Agent Settlement report, Generic Discrete Manufacturing, SalesNetworks, where Sales Orders are integrated into GP from Microsoft CRM, ProjectOrganization, where you implement GP Project Accounting module, Membershipmanaging organizations, where  membershipannual fees are tracked in recurred batches in SOP (light customization isneeded), Mid-size and small retail store chains with franchisee networks, whereyou integrate Retail transactions to GP and print barcode labels from GPdirectly or from such applications as Microsoft RMS 5.       Howto get help?  Please, feel free to callour office at 1-866-528-0577, if you are outside of USA: 1-630-961-5918, oremail us: [email protected]  We speakEnglish, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, including Brazilian Portuguese, Russian,Filipino.  Please, be aware that DynamicsGP is not UNICODE compliant application, and if you need help in having GPScreens to be translated to Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and other hieroglyphbased characters language, this is not possible.  We would be happy to create Chinese CrystalReports out of your Dynamics GP system with the help of third party Dynamics GPISV tools, such as NJ Star.  If you aretrying to consider Great Plains for your Brazilian subsidiary, we would have todiscourage you and ask you rather to consider SAP Business One, which islocalized for Brazil.  Great PlainsDynamics GP is also not localized for Russian market, we invite you to call usto help you understand ecommerce and Corporate ERP options in RussianFederation, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belorussia, Moldova, Lithuania, Poland,Latvia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Poland, Serbia, Uzbekistan
