Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 - Microsoft Great Plains: Large Scale Implementation
Microsoft Business Solutions Great Plains, Navision, Axapta, Solomon and CRM are coming up to satisfy ERP needs for large corporation, including multinationals. In this article we will be describing Microsoft Great Plains as the MRP platform, fitting to multiple industries and business niches: aerospace, defense, textile, pharmaceutical, healthcare, constructions, mining, services, distributions & logistics, wholesale & retail, public sector, chemicals, oil & gas, finance, brokerage, etc. We’ll try to give you orientation and set realistic expectations if you are CIO for large publicly traded company and looking for reasonably budgeted solution.
• Technical versus Functional implementation. The trend of our new post-recession era is biased toward technical implementation. If you look back to 1990th Clinton golden days – when we would say huge number of CPA-oriented businesses were realizing and implementing mid-size and large accounting applications. Today – accounting department team is comfortable with generic ERP interface and needs minimal training. Usually we train IT people and they in turn provide Great Plains interface and reporting training to the end users, or end users attend online training to get advanced skills in the application interface.
• Technical Customization & Modification. Well – if you remember old-good-days SAP, PeopleSoft, JDEdwards, Oracle ERP systems implementation – you would agree that they required a lot of programmers and developers participation. The same is applicable if you look at Microsoft Great Plains – however we need to make some remarks, related to our new time. First of all – Developers are mow concentrated in the development centers, dispersed across the USA and especially internationally in so-called offshore zones: India, Philippines, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine. We are not talking about China here, because Great Plains is not very popular over there.

We have local presence in the Houston, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Denver, Phoenix, New Orleans, Minneapolis, San Francisco, LATAM & Brazil, Germany, Russia, South East Asia and Oceania.
