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 Server—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.
