1. Upgrading from Dynamics GP 9.0 or 8.0 to GP version 10.0.  This is one step upgrade and likely your current Dynamics GP Partner is comfortable to do this type of work.  There are few things to consider.  First thing is modifications: ReportWriter modified reports (typically Sales Order Processing Blank Invoice form, Sales Order Blank Form), Modifier with VBA scripts (look if you have Dynamics.vba file in your GP directory and Forms.Dic - check path in Dynamics.set file); Dexterity customizations (again check Dynamics.set file if it has lines with your company abbreviations in one of the listed modules name).  Second thing is FRx reports (Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Statement, Cash Flow Statement and consolidated versions, if you have multiple companies) - FRx upgrade is typically not a big challenge, just do not forget about this important step.  The third thing is Integrations - you may have them in Dynamics GP Integration Manager (Tools->Integrate->Integration Manager, then open Tools->Options and read Default Integration Manager Database - this is MS Access file, which has your IM metabase and needs to be updated).  The forth thing is Dynamics GP add-ons upgrade - add-ons are developed and supported by Microsoft Dynamics GP ISV Partners (Mekorma, Avalara, Horizon, Wenn Soft to name a few) - you should check if your Dynamics GP ISV add-on is ready in new version and upgrade path exists.  There are known issues about Microsoft Dynamics GP SP3, so, we recommend you to go directly to Dynamics GP Service Pack 4.  If you have Extender, you should wait until Extender issues are resolved in GP SP4

2. Upgrading from Dynamics GP 7.5 and Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise 7.0.  Here you have to do two steps Great Plains version update.  We recommend you to go from 7.0 or 7.5 to Dynamics GP 9.0.  There is some challenge in getting service packs for older versions of Great Plains Dynamics, however in our opinion it is possible to update using GP CDs (you should expect some SQL scripting level fixes).  Please, take into consideration additional things, such as modifications, integrations, FRx reports, add-ons, as it was described in paragraph 1.  When you are on Dynamics GP 9.0, next step is directly to version 10

3. Dynamics GP 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.0 and earlier.  Here you should expect at least three steps for 6.0 (6.0 -> 7.5), or four (5.0 -> 6.0 -> 7.5).  In this paragraph we assume that you are on Microsoft SQL Server version of Great Plains eEnterprise or Dynamics C/S+

4. Microsoft Small Business Financials (formerly known as Great Plains Small Business Manager).  As you may already heard, SBF is in phase out mode, the last version is 9.0.  Microsoft Business Solutions encourages you to migrate to Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Ready (Business Essential license).  Migration path is SBF 7.5 or 8.0 to 9.0, then to Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 (via Migration Tool) and then to Dynamics GP 10.0

5. Great Plains Dynamics on Pervasive SQL 2000 or Ctree migration to Great Plains Dynamics 7.5 on Microsoft SQL Server.  When Microsoft acquired Great Plains Software in earlier 2000 - the direction was made to move Great Plains Dynamics from non-Microsoft DB platforms to Microsoft SQL Server (and cheap versions of MS SQL Server, such as MSDE 2000 and MS SQL Select 2005).  In our opinion migration from Great Plains Dynamics on Ctree or Pervasive SQL 2000 is the most reliable for GP version 7.5 (Dynamics GP 7.5 was the last version where Ctree and Pervasive SQL 2000 DB platforms were supported)

6. Intellisol Advanced Purchase Order Processing migration to Great Plains Purchase Order Module.  Intellisol was very popular with its add-ons, such as Project Accounting and especially Advanced Purchase Order Processing.  There were dramatic events back in late 1990th, when Great Plains Software decided to acquire Match Data Project Accounting (currently incorporated as Dynamics GP Project Accounting module) versus purchasing Intellisol Project Accounting.  We are very sorry if you are on Intellisol APOP 7.5 or earlier versions, the way out is migration to Great Plains Dynamics PO 7.5 and then upgrading all the way up to Dynamics GP 10.0 or 11.0

7. Great Plains Accounting for DOS, Windows and Mac upgrade to Dynamics GP.  General recommendation is to upgrade GPA to version 9.5 and then you are ready for Migration tool to Great Plains Dynamics 7.5

8. Getting new Microsoft Dynamics GP licenses.  The answer is simple and at the same time old Great Plains customers might feel great challenge and pitfall here.  You should be current in Microsoft Business Solutions annual enhancement program (typically 16% or more from your Dynamics GP software price list).  If you are on legacy Great Plains Dynamics, or even Great Plains Accounting, the chances are high that you lapsed in payments for annual enhancement.  If this is your case, please contact your Microsoft Dynamics GP VAR (or call our office) to get MBS annual enhancement reenrollment quote

9. Walking away from old Great Plains.  If you have already made your homework and you think that the way of staying in Microsoft Dynamics GP realm is not realistic (typically too expensive), we recommend you to consider the following options.   First of them is to consider SAP Business One.  SB1 is available in United States, Canada and internationally (localized version, meaning that it supports local languages: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, French, German, Italian, and more; plus it is compliant to regional country legislation, such as China People Republic, Russian Federation, Brazil, etc.)

10. Integration with Microsoft RMS (Retail Management Software).  Alba Spectrum offers you to deploy daily MS RMS integration to Microsoft Dynamics GP (Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing and General Ledger).  If you are small retailer, you might be OK with simple Great Plains Upgrade...

11. Great Plains Dexterity customization recovery.  Expect some challenge, to be specific, you will have to have Microsoft Dexterity source code dictionary (Dynamics.dic with Sanscript codes in).  If you have this dictionary, we can help you with Dexterity customization upgrade and recovery

12. Microsoft Dynamics GP in Central, Latin America and Caribbean.   If your business enterprise in located in Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Cayman Islands,  we are covering your Microsoft Dynamics GP support needs via web sessions and phone conferences.  We specialize in Dynamics GP customizations, integrations, reporting for international clients.  For the countries, where Dynamics GP is not localized (such as Brazil, Russia, Germany, China) we recommend SAP Business One, which could be reasonably efficiently integrated and consolidated with Dynamics GP in US headquarters

1. Microsoft Business Solutions technical support.  If you just acquired Great Plains licenses, you should have annual enhancement plan with MBS.  There might be some confusion on the role of MBS and your Dynamics GP VAR.  Microsoft doesn't sell licenses directly to the customer, it works through Dynamics GP reseller channel and your GP reseller is responsible for Sales cycle, modules selection and following implementation, data conversion, user training.  Dynamics GP consultants are definitely great people and have a lot of knowledge and experience, however MBS Dynamics GP software is sold with required annual enhancement plan.  This plan gives you, as end customer access to CustomerSource (below we will give you self-support scenario, available through CustomerSource), free registration key to the future versions, discounted technical support cases via MSB GP technical support and other benefits.  When you are selecting the level of the direct MBS support plan, we recommend you to discuss with your Dynamics GP Partner what is expected number of support cases – if you expect technology challenging implementation (where you may have several external legacy systems to be integrated, Integration Manager data migration, or simply when you are large organization and you expect more than twenty Great Plains user licenses) – we recommend you to consider the plan with unlimited number of technical support cases included.  This plan should save you a lot of money and consulting hours (paradoxically from your Dynamics GP Partner, who might be interested to help you directly and do not outsource support completely to Microsoft technical support team)

2. What is typical scope of MBS technical support case?  Please, note that the case is something small in its scope and it is not covering the whole Implementation or Version upgrade, or complete data massage and migration.  When you are coming through implementation phase, it is typically your Dynamics GP consultant, who calls or contacts MBS support via PartnerSource website.  Support case is typically one specific issue, which is expected to be resolved the same day or being reopened and resolved within few business days.  When implementation is over, and you would like to reduce Dynamics GP maintenance cost, we recommend you to get a tour on your CustomerSource and learn how to do self-support and if it doesn't work, how to place support cases directly with MBS (without the help of your Dynamics GP consultant)

3. Dynamics GP Self-support on the Customer Source.  You are entitled to have access to the Customer Source, please request your Dynamics GP VAR to assist you in getting required credentials.  On the CS, please find Knowledge Base, where you can use keywords (for example, if you got error popup message, try to key in its number or several words of the message in the search edit field).  If you are pretty comfortable with web search queries (google, yahoo, msn/bing), you should expect success rate in finding relevant fix (knowledge base article) to be 50% and even much higher.  In some cases, the fix might require Microsoft SQL DBA skills (fix is done via SQL update queries), and if this is your fix situation, MBS might restrict the article to Dynamics GP Partners only, as you may have high risk to damage your SQL database (or other Great Plains resource).  If you do not see the matching fix via Customer Source knowledge base query, go ahead and place technical support case directly via customer source (typically faster and preferred by Microsoft) or via phone call.  Dynamics GP Technician from Microsoft will reply or walk you through via phone conference

4. What if you are on older Dynamics GP or Great Plains Dynamics/eEnterprise version and do not have support plan with Microsoft?  Well, in this scenario, you should call your Dynamics GP Reseller, who can see your records via Microsoft Business Solutions Partner Source and try to find the fix for you (chances are also high that your Great Plains Consultant knows the answer from his or her head).  In this situation you should be ready to pay hourly consulting rates for the consulting time spent.  If you are on archaic Great Plains version, such as Great Plains Accounting for DOS, Windows or Mac (9.5, 9.2 and earlier), Great Plains on Pervasive SQL 2000/Btrieve or Ctree: 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, or earlier – these versions are no longer supported by MBS directly and you have to find Dynamics GP Consultant who is familiar and could support these versions

5. Dynamics GP Typical Technical Support issues.  Here we are trying to apply statistics from our Great Plains consulting practice.  In our opinion, the most typical tech support call is the Batch failed to post all the way through.  And looking into the possible causes, these are either unexpected computer crushes (or when user initiates Batch posting process and switches the activity to surfing the Internet, where malware stalls the computer).  Second in its popularity is the user, already logged and went in limbo in killed Dynamics GP session (especially when you are Great Plains Dynamics 7.5 and earlier version).  If this is related to what you got, have all the users to log off and delete Activity in SQL Query Analyzer (SQL 2000), or delete Activity.BTR file in Dynamics/System folder on the server if you are on Btrieve/Pervasive SQL (similar fix is applicable to Ctree, but the file name is Activity.DAT)

6. If your Dynamics GP implementation failed – what to do?  Here you need second opinion.  We are really sorry if this is what happened with you, and we are ready to apologize, as you might be walked through Dynamics GP Sales Cycle by Dynamics GP Reseller, who is really new to the Great Plains implementation practice (who just got its certification requirements via external Dynamics GP consultants or even Contractors).  Please, try to find local Dynamics GP consultants, who have proven record of having successful implementation in your area and industry, or appeal to USA, Canada nationwide Dynamics GP Resellers.  Feel free to call our office for Second Opinion of Microsoft Dynamics GP recovery

7. Local Service.  We provide local Dynamics GP support in Michigan (area code 269 – St. Joseph, Benton harbor, South Haven, Kalamazoo), Chicago (downtown, 773 northern sub-down town, with western and southern suburbs reinforcement from Naperville location area code 630).  Next areas for local support are Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County California.  For local service please feel free to call us 1-866-528-0577, email us help@albaspectrum.com

8. Worldwide and International Dynamics GP support.  Please, feel free to share your Dynamics GP implementation or support case with us.  We are especially geared to help you with Dynamics GP implementation in such countries, as Honduras, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Columbia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Venezuela, Canada (including French speaking Quebec), Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland

But first, you must have a clear understanding the difference between people buying GPS tracking devices and those who prefer portable GPS units. For one thing, users of portable GPS units main intent for buying these devices is to help themselves get a guide or a tool to find the best way to locate and get to a certain destination – and use an interactive digital map to do so.

Although GPS tracking devices have the same basic architecture as a GPS receiver in the manner of how they utilize the Global Positioning System to get coordinates, users of this device may not necessarily use them on their own person – but as a way to track the location and movement of a person, animal, vehicle or object in real time.

Using Your Knowledge Base to Your Advantage

Owners of GPS tracking devices may have a bigger knowledge base available to them than buyers of portable GPS devices. For one thing, if you're an owner of a GPS tracker, not only are you knowledgeable about the basic principles of GPS devices but also on the intricacies associated with GPS trackers which may not be readily available to new buyers.

This is why buyers of GPS trackers have more technical knowledge than owners of portable GPS devices as they are more exposed to various GPS-related applications that go beyond the core functions of basic GPS devices. Geotagging, photo tagging, GPS logging, GPS jammers and a host of other terminologies may not be familiar to owners of basic GPS devices as do users of GPS tracking devices.

You can use this fact to your advantage by setting up a forum where more knowledgeable GPS tracking device owners lend their technical knowledge to help potential buyers and newcomers about the various applications and choices available to them. This would make potential buyers more interested and wanting to know more – pushing them towards the final step of buying their own GPS tracker from you.

Setting Up a Forum to Help Your Customers – and Capture their Market

There are several forums and GPS communities available out there which you and your customers can participate in, but as an entrepreneur this would be to your disadvantage. For one thing, most of these forums are built by online marketers or sellers of GPS tracking devices themselves, or they can be affiliates of a particular brand or store selling these devices.

The discussions within these forums might be biased towards this particular brand or store. A newcomer like you would never stand a chance against them. What you need is to have your own online community and moderated forum where you can control and filter out discussions – and use them to your advantage.

The following describes some of the considerations that you need to take before you start your own forum or community where your GPS tracking device customers can join.

* You should have a unique domain and hosting for your site. Just like any online business, having your own domain name can give you good product recall and branding which would benefit your business well.

* The forum should be properly categorized into topics that would interest your customers. This includes features, functions, and terminologies that they would be interested to know.

* Have a separate section for product reviews and comparison, clearly indicating why a particular brand or model is more highly recommended than the next. Of course, you should only include discussions on brands and models that you carry in your own business – and avoid giving reference to competitors.

* Information on geographic locations and what devices or models would work best in these locations would be great discussion topics that potential buyers would be very much interested in.

* Include tips, suggestions and resources on where your customers can get free or open source software that are compatible with the GPS tracking device and models that you market. This would be a very important resource that they would need to know – which could possibly edge them closer to making that purchase.

An online community and forum customized for your GPS tracking customers is a great way to expand and grow your market base as a seller of these devices. You just need to learn all the ropes and carefully map out a plan – and use this knowledge to your advantage.
