Thanks to the advancing technology, there are now multiple ways to communicate and collaborate within a business. Business communication between employers, managers, clients and employees is important for the success of any operation. Microsoft Business Solutions, for its Axapta - Dynamics AX product line, introduced version upgrade (including customization) option through 10 strategic partners, located offshore in India and China. At this point of time, Axapta is targeting larger clients in general, where GP with its broad legacy customer base in US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Middle East, South Africa and Latin America is usually associated with mid-market or smaller corporate clients (however there are multiple cases where large accounts implemented GP successfully Worldwide, integrating it with local ERPs in the countries, where GP is not supported or not localized). Following globalization tendency, Microsoft Great Plains partners have to outsource their call centers to India, however Philippines is probably also very good option, considering the historical fact of Match - Data Project accounting acquisition by Great Plains Software and turning it into its subdivision in late 1990th, prior to being in turn acquired by Microsoft. Let's look at the options and challenges for you, potential customer and your MBS servicing partnero Centralized Call Center. Yes, this is what is usually meant, when MBS partner has to switch away from group-of-consultants-cowboys type of model to CRM driven servicing organization. Imagine - you can call your MBS partner anytime, when you have an urgent or regular issue and always get somebody technically and functionally trained and experienced on the phone the same minute, who can pull your records and begin serve you right away. Satellite Communication services and Global Roaming solutions are the future of overseas communication. Satellite Communications are extremely sophisticated as they allow for low cost communication which is a reliable and high speed alternative to regular fibre networks. The systems are also scalable so users can be added and subtracted easily by the client while the system and lines remain secure. A good satellite communications gateway provider will offer a good maintenance and troubleshooting helpline available twenty four hours a day, seven days a week to help users experiencing difficulties with their satellite communications. Global Roaming Solutions for Business. Global Roaming solutions are especially suited to businesses wanting their employees to remain on their communications network, even when located on the other side of the globe. Users simply point and click to determine location and find the local dial-up (hosted by the service provider) to access their international broadband. These sharing sites are good not only for communication but also for projects that involve multiple teams or agencies or when people need access to documents but can't get to their email, fax machine or the company's VPN. Three of the most popular document-sharing websites include Google Docs, MS Live and Scribd. These services are free, however, most of the time they will offer enhanced features for a small price. With an enhanced features subscription, users also get access to a larger number of gigabytes of storage space. Remote Access to a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A virtual private network, or VPN, uses the Internet to provide information for certain users working off-site or to outpost offices using remote access passwords.

Interoffice voice communication occurrs without long distance costs as VOIP traffic travels the corporate WAN (VPNMPLSetc. I see this trend continuing domestically until digital phone systems are phased out completely. The next challenge is replacing small business (analog) phone systems because they generally keep pace with consumer technology instead of larger businesses. You currently see VOIP for small business and personal use independent of the ISP. A combined offering of Internet data and voice could easily induce universal acceptance of VOIP in even the smallest business (as well as households). It is web portal by the technology, and so - it could be supported remotely. Additional comments Microsoft Project Green, targeting to merge Microsoft ERP applications Navision (Microsoft Dynamics NAV), Axapta (Microsoft Dynamics AX), Solomon (Microsoft Dynamics SL), MS CRM (Microsoft Dynamics CRM), Great Plains (Microsoft Dynamics GP) should enable more tools for Microsoft Dynamics products remote supporto Competition. As Microsoft Business Solutions admits - SAP Business One and Oracle (Oracle E-Business Suite lite version) are major competitors. We are not talking about Best - Software here - this is subject for separate articleo International MRP Market. Localization usually deals with French, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian language translation plus local country tax engine automation (especially for such unique tax legislations as Brazilian, Chinese, Indian, French)o Customization. Especially in the USA we see a lot of clients and orphans who have Microsoft Dexterity (or Great Plains Dexterity) customizations. Satellite Communications are extremely sophisticated as they allow for low cost communication which is a reliable and high speed alternative to regular fibre networks. The systems are also scalable so users can be added and subtracted easily by the client while the system and lines remain secure. A good satellite communications gateway provider will offer a good maintenance and troubleshooting helpline available twenty four hours a day, seven days a week to help users experiencing difficulties with their satellite communications. Global Roaming Solutions for Business. Global Roaming solutions are especially suited to businesses wanting their employees to remain on their communications network, even when located on the other side of the globe. Users simply point and click to determine location and find the local dial-up (hosted by the service provider) to access their international broadband. This approach works even if you have to implement localized versions of GP in various countries, as localization will reside in your GP company database and you will need to provide localized GP user workstation which could be hosted in international office5. At this time MS licensing policy assumes that you pay for your GP licenses, based on the place where GP server is located6. If you plan to control implantation and following support cost, then you should have your international offices to accept remote support model web sessions, skype calls, remote desktop connections. Microsoft Great Plains, Great Plains Software e - Enterprise and Dynamics needs to know the key questions for Microsoft Dynamics GP version upgrade. Especially, when Great Plains is heavily customized and integrated with other parts of ERPMRPCRM and legacy systems. When you have relatively old (3-4 years old) Great Plains system in production, you need to resolve not just version upgrade, but probably database platform and server and WS hardware revision to name a few questionso MS SQL Server 2005.

This software is great for managers and bosses who want to personally keep their employees up-to-date, or reduce conference or travel costs. Many sales and marketing managers use this software to conduct online training seminars. To download the software, the user must have a computer with Internet and basic Windows (or Mac), meaning you probably won't have to pay for any expensive equipment upgrades before getting it up and running and starting to use it as a collaboration tool. Yahoo Messenger and MSN . This chat board software has been around since computers were invented. When first created, the software was only able to transfer small messages between members (in real-time). Since many web applications require the use of secure socket layer (SSL) protocol, it is prudent to offer the certification cover to the client. SSL VPN (virtual private network) authentication is necessary to prevent identity theft, confidentiality, user authentication and so on. It is essential for e-commerce sites to maintain the privacy and integrity of the users, who purchase products online. SSL ensures encryption and authentication of data that is sent across networks and maintains security of the data. The latest developments in web hosting are the rapid growth of virtualization and cloud hosting. The use of innumerable servers can provide virtually unlimited storage space and data transfer processing ability for users. Benefits to their business are very important and features and "nice to haves" round it out. They want what their peers have because they saw it at the gym, lunch or out on the golf course. When they ask for it, it is because they saw their peers with it, and maybe it is a solution that allows hisher friend to work from home three afternoons a week or go to a school event and still have information from the business coming to them when they are away from the office. It is not the job of the IT consultant to discourage the technology, it is the job of the consultant to embrace it and provide it. Many times I see business go elsewhere simply because the company was ill equipped to adapt to the client's changing needs or request, and the competitor could. However, there are many factors that determine the quality of service and reasonable accessibility for the users. A good service provider should offer WIFI hotspots and coverage at almost any location on the globe. Cost savings are significant when using Global Roaming solutions and Hosted Exchange services email, internet access, corporate network access and calls are charged at local rates saving companies an incredible amount of money versus international rates companies would have to pay if using a regular telephone or cellular technology. Another benefit to using Global Roaming solutions is the easy-to-use software accompanying the service. The Hosted Exchange services are provided using a high speed VPN integrated connectivity which in turn increases accessibility for business travellers meaning no time is wasted with slow connections, unreliable lines and trying to find a data connection.
