Dynamics GP Evaluation Version Installation, Presentation and Functionality Review - Alba Spectrum

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 20, 2009 -- If you are in the phase of new Corporate ERP selection, business processes mapping and if your company is in the mid-market by its size, we recommend you to review Microsoft Dynamics GP ( formerly this Accounting, MRP and ERP application was known as Great Plains Dynamics, eEnteprise and it had some common features with its earlier DOS, Windows and Mac application Great Plains Accounting). Microsoft Dynamics GP is part of Microsoft Dynamics family together with AX (former Axapta), NAV (former Navision), SL (Solomon), RMS (Microsoft Retail Management System), CRM.

1. Where to download Great Plains Dynamics GP evaluation version? In mid-size and large organizations, where you are Microsoft oriented (versus Java, Oracle, Linux, Unix oriented), you typically have MSDN subscription go to Subscriber Downloads and Product Keys, then Microsoft Dynamics and download current Dynamics GP version 10.0 (as we are writing these lines in September 2009). These CDs are the same as the ones used in production installations, however in production installation you have Dynamics GP registration key, which is valid for your Company name, and usually you have to be on service pack or patch level. If you do not have MSDN subscription, please email us or give us a call, if you are organization - we will give you access to download Dynamics GP CDs from our ftp site

2. Evaluation Period. As you install GP from CDs downloaded in #1 - you will not have Great Plains Registration Key, however you will have evaluation period, normally 60 days (depends on version and current Microsoft Business Solutions policies). We recommend you to work with Lesson Company - Fabrikam (database TWO). If you have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2000 Standard or Enterprise license, great! If you don't - you can deploy GP evaluation version on MS SQL Server Developer Edition. In Fabrikam you will have access to virtually all GP modules and sample data, at this phase we recommend you to identify the functionality which is absolutely required, plus possibly needed and what is sort of luxury add-ons (as you would like o be conservative in purchasing licenses for something that you may use very rarely or maybe never)
