Dynamics GP Version 11.0, due for release early next summer (2010), will focus on increasing depth and reach, in terms of extending core functionality, richer integration with the Microsoft Office system and creating more external connections through Web Services.
The overall aim is to deliver to you a faster return on your investment. Enhanced integration with the Office system and portal technologies (making greater use of SharePoint functionality) will gear you up for improved productivity, business intelligence capabilities and a more connected way of working, such as the addition of 12 roles-based dashboards and greater customization of the GP homepage, including the ability to add your own metrics
Additional functionality include:
- Printing a GP form (such as a Sales Order) to Microsoft Office Word, along with giving users the ability to print any GP report/form to Word if they so choose.
- Emailing groups of documents (such as Purchase Orders) with just the click of a button.
- Allowing those you do business with to login to their own Customer or Vendor Portal, where they can view key information related to their transactions in Dynamics GP, or even make changes to select data within your system (a vendor updating the shipping dates on a PO for example).
- Charts, graphs and gauges galore! Entirely new charts, graphs and gauges will be available on both the Business Portal dashboards as well as the Dynamics GP homepage.
- Want to get more details after viewing the new charts, graphs, or gauges? Version “11†will allow you to drill down from those graphical elements to reports that contain the detailed transaction data behind it, and then drill down all the way from those reports back into the Dynamics GP inquiry windows!
- GP 11.0 will also deliver more rapid implementation tools to enable quick and easy deployment to include installation, data migration and configuration. Focus will also be on achieving full 64-bit compatibility.
