    Next week we will all get to see LIVE the feature set included in the R2 release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 while at the Microsoft Customer Conference Convergence.  Convergence is the largest Microsoft networking, training, and knowledge sharing event of the year and takes place April 10th-13th at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.  Last year Convergence drew more than 8,000 attendees.

    With four sessions of the Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday dedicated specifically to these new features and reporting enhancements, attendees will see first hand what has been included in this next release.  Microsoft Dynamics GP product team members have a “Inside Dynamics GP” blog which has a “Feature of the Day” highlighting these new additions to the product.  So, we’ve seen a sneak preview of several of the benefits to updating to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2.

    Some of my favorite improved elements are:

    • Navigation Lists display up to 360% faster.
    • Ability to email Dynamics reports, with field replacement options directly from GP!
    • Sales Order Returns now able to be sent in Word format, along with over 20 other document types.
    • Easier to create/brand new document templates in Word format.
    • New Report Deployment Wizard for SQL Reporting Services reports.
    • Over 50 new SQL reporting services reports across financials, distribution, payroll, & more.
    • Drilldown from Summary to Detail in SRS reports.
    • Multi-company reporting and drilldown with SRS.
    • Ability to Copy Security across Dynamics installations of GP, BP, and other Microsoft software.
    • Dexterity table expansions for developers to quickly identify tables and data.

    Customers will speed productivity, allow insight into key data, and be able to utilitize their existing Microsoft Office software to exchange information with personnel within their organizations or around the world immediately! 

    It seems that just a few years ago we were thrilled with the ability to move from “Fedexing” documents to faxing or using a modem to transfer data to our customers, vendors, or international offices.  With these additional Word Formats, Email capabilities, and Reporting options, now we can simply press a couple of keys and transmit specific details, in specific formats, to specific resources, with variables and exceptions all taken into account.

    I can’t wait to show my customers how quickly we can make this happen for them with Microsoft Dynamics GP!  Once we get back from Convergence, we hold Free Customer Webcasts to highlight and train our customers on the newest features of their existing products.

    If you are looking to replace your current ERP software, or are searching for experts in Microsoft Dynamics, contact Collins Computing.  We are excited to share the latest features of Microsoft Dynamics with you!
