A History of Success

First introduced to the world in the 1980s, Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains) was one of the first accounting packages in the USA that was designed and written to be multi-user. The software soon became the number one ERP solutions in 1990s for its inclusive modules of financial, inventory, sales order processing, purchasing and much more.

In the year 2000, Great Plains was acquired by Microsoft and became Dynamics GP – the first ERP solution to be offered by this tech empire.

After more than three decades in the market, Dynamics GP is serving more than 47,000 customers worldwide and counting.

Continuously Evolving

Like many other software (or Hollywood Superstars), this long-lasting market leader is sometimes “rumoured” to be “dead” -with no further development plan from its parents Microsoft.

However, the myth was solved earlier this year when Microsoft released the new Dynamics GP roadmap which states a continuous progression of the systems through 2019, similar to its brothers and sisters in the same family. With this, it is obvious that Microsoft will continues to invest in Dynamics GP to ensure it remains relevant and up to date.
