Dynamics GP and SAP Business One Tandem as Corporate ERP for Multinational Firm - Alba Spectrum

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 29, 2009 -- This small publication is intended to current Microsoft Dynamics GP Great Plains customers, who are expanding internationally and would like to choose ERP system for relatively small foreign subsidiary. As you know Dynamics GP is localized in English speaking countries (including South East Asia, where English is the used in business), plus in Quebec (in French Canadian), to some extent in Spanish speaking Latin America and Caribbean states, Oceania.

1. Corporate ERP localization. It has two aspects: local language adoption (screens are translated, plus you can enter documents in local language) and compliance to local legislation (tax reporting, invoice required fields, etc.). Localization is especially complex and important in lager countries, such as Brazil, Russia, China, India, Japan, France, Germany. It would be too complex to localize in house such application as Microsoft Dynamics GP for your Branch in Brazil (where Microsoft Business Solutions doesn't have localized GP version, instead you can get Brazilian Dynamics AX Axapta, or NAV Navision)

2. Dynamics GP and Unicode language support (Chinese, Japanese, Korean). Dynamics GP Dexterity string resources do not support hieroglyphs (however Arabic alphabet is supported, even if looks complex to you - it is formalized in 2 bits ASCII codes table). This is why you cannot translate GP screens to Chinese (with some exception - if you place graphical pictures on the screens to represent translation)
