Convenience is important to us. From instant coffee to drive-thru windows, our modern lives are filled with advancements that are designed to make living less complicated and working more efficient. When selecting an ERP/accounting software package you need to look for ways it will make your working life more convenient.
For example, wouldn't it be nice to accept online payments and have every payment integrated directly in your ERP software? In November 2010, you can do this with Microsoft Dynamics GP. You can have your online sales and services platform seamlessly integrated with your Microsoft Dynamics GP back office system with 2 new features - Payment Services and Commerce Services.
According to the official "" blog Payment Services will allow you to "accept electronic payments via credit or debit cards, directly through the ERP, by phone or through an online solution" Best of all, the service will integrate with Receivables Management and Sales Order Processing.
Commerce Services will give users the ability to "build and publish new sales catalogs on demand and extend your sales reach across multiple online channels."
Payment Services will be freely available online to customers on the Business Ready Enhancement Plan (BREP) with Dynamics GP 10.0 Service Pack 5 and Dynamics GP 2010 Service Pack 1. (A great example of why it pays to be current on an annual enhancement plan). Commerce Services will be available on the Microsoft Dynamic GP Price List (as of 11/1/2010)
These new online features were two of the frequently-requested services by current and prospective customers. They should satisfy the needs of current business customers and convince companies in the software selection process to choose Microsoft Dynamics GP.
