Microsoft Great Plains - Payroll & HR Inexpensive solution? Not any more
by: Andrew Karasev
Microsoft Great Plains is main Microsoft Business Solutions accounting package for the US market. You should probably expect some issues when you have software development company to be bought by big player - in this case Great Plains Software was bought by Microsoft (Bill Gates was a friend to Doug Burgum - owner and leader of Great Plains Software - Great Plains Dynamics/eEnterprise). We certainly have some influence level in Microsoft Business Solutions, but what happened is out of our decision level and this is really sad story.
OK. Let's go to the story itself. Imagine - you are small company who serves to your clients as payroll/Humane Resources outsourcer. Old-days Great Plains Dynamics on Ctree or Pervasive SQL/Btrieve was excellent and inexpensive solution. You could have all your clients need installed on your home computer somewhere in Southern States, enjoying the sun and the niceties of California for k$2 per year with Great Plains software list price of around k$10 with unlimited number of Payroll/HR employees
Now - you have sudden hurricane - over Florida - somebody who is in charge in Microsoft - but really without clear understanding on what is in stake - this person needs to retune the cheap Great Plains version. Good - now you have Small Business Manager with restriction on employee count, then you have so-called Great Plains Standard which is available on MSDE and MS SQL Server 2000 - it caps you at 500 employees and ... - as a result of this decision - you can't conduct your business with Microsoft Business Solutions any more.
We have multiple examples of our customers who had to switch to Accpac, Adapta Soft and other cheap vendors of Payroll HR versions without limitation on the number of employees. We do certainly respect the right of Microsoft to compete with Oracle, SAP and PeopleSoft - but what is going on is probably non-planned and side effect of the solution which was made too soon. Of course the need to finish the contract with Pervasive software was a good idea - but cutting your small loyal customers - we actually doubt this
Happy implementing! if you want us to do the job - give us a call 1-866-528-0577! help@albaspectrum.com

Do the best news numbers add up?
We assume that your interest in best news has brought you to this site. We also assume that you are shopping for best news online because you'll be able to buy product at a cheaper rate than via a Department Store. Your assumptions are correct so please closely examine the link below.
One way to determine if the numbers add up is to check the prices of best news at your local store. Let's assume that you live in New Zealand and are accustomed to buying best news locally. You may find that United States prices are quite amazing even after the normal currency conversions. You've now entered the world of International best news E-Commerce.
Just a word of caution. Although the prices for best news internationally may be better than say New Zealand you should also check out the freight and shipping charges. What's the point of getting cheap best news prices which are then converted to very expensive best news prices when the freight is added.
Do the numbers add up when freight is taken into account? Our research on many products, including best news, has revealed that many suppliers are now offering best news freight free. This will change the numbers in your favour.
The only way for you to fully determine the price elements on offer is to click on the links for the best news merchants which are clearly shown on this page. Our links will take you straight to their website where you will be able to add up the numbers on their online best news products with those in normal best news shops. We definitely think the numbers will stack up in your favour.
