Press Release Body: Microsoft Dynamics GP implementation typically includes GP
licenses purchase, installation, data conversion and migration (often with data
massage in Excel), user training, potential customization and modification, reports
design and integration with legacy applications. Dynamics GP VAR selection should
be precise - GP partner expertise is important and you should get clear
understanding of your potential Great Plains reseller capabilities. Alba Spectrum
combines local service with remote support, which is available virtually Worldwide.
Let's review GP technology and implementation:

1. Great Plains Dexterity. This is the heart of GP technology, programming language
and EDI, written in C. Dexterity is the tool of choice if you are planning GP
customization. It is probably fair to say, that most of Great Plains Add-On are
programmed in GP Dex. Dexterity customization support is very important, you should
not plan GP version update without having custom module upgrade plan

2. Great Plains Installation. GP is available on Microsoft SQL Server platform:
2000 or 2005. If you are comfortable to support MS SQL Server in-house - you should
have advantage, selecting GP over another ERP. Please, take into consideration that
GP is mid-market ERP application and its installation is not recommended for
somebody, who is not certified as Great Plains Dynamics consultant

3. GP data conversion. We recommend you to plan this prior to contacting your GP
reseller. Data migration should be really modest and you should not be very
optimistic about migrating everything to GP. Review scenario, when you are just
entering beginning balances in GL and move customers and vendors via GP Integration
