Great Plains Software Dynamics, Dynamics C/S+, eEnterprise were
written on GPS proprietary programming language and development
environment ? Great Plains Dexterity. When Microsoft bought
Great Plains Software, Dynamics was renamed into Microsoft Great
Plains, but Dexterity is still the architectural base, there
were trends to move MS Great Plains to .Net and reprogram it in
C#, but in our opinion Microsoft is probing its own technologies
and places them into competition with each other. Microsoft
Business Portal is probably the direction, when existing ERP
products: Great Plains, Navision, Axapta, Solomon will have
seamless web interface. In this small article we?ll try to give
your Dexterity source code programming options and directions.
?Source Code Program Closing. This move was announced by
Microsoft Business Solutions in the beginning of 21st century.
It should be probably attributed to .Net optimism. In time MBS
acquired Great Plains Software (with GP and Solomon), then
Navision Software (with Navision and Axapta). Microsoft had to
plan its newly acquired products integration and synergy ?Source
Code Program. Great Plains Software provided participants with
DYNAMICS.DIC and its third party dictionaries with Dexterity
sanscript codes (in commercial DYNAMICS.DIC these codes are
stripped off). Source code program allows your dexterity
developers to deploy advanced technologies, such as tax engine
calls and replacements, posting engine call, etc. Plus it allows
you to deploy GP lookup forms in your customization. ?Source
Core Program Reopening. As it was announced on the recent MBS
conference ? Microsoft may reopen the program, this is very
interesting move, which signals that MBS takes more conservative
approach and might decide to support its products with their
legacy technologies ?The Future. Project Green, or Microsoft
might decide to rename it, the idea is to form business suites
from existing products and code base. However we should be
reasonable and respect the efforts of MBS ? to form business
suites ? this is very serious move and it should take several
years to come out with the first version. ?Great Plains as
Mature ERP. Yes ? this is the phase of the product life. Great
Plains Dynamics was released in 1994 and it is 11 years old
product. We are confident in Great Plains as an ERP platform for
