Great Plains ERP Link - Seradex Module

When you use the Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) Great Plains ERP Link with the Seradex system you have instant access to accurate, up-to-the-minute financial and manufacturing information. While Great Plains offers a powerful financial accounting system many manufacturing companies may be attracted to Seradex's robust ERP and manufacturing software capabilities. Now you are equipped to make informed operational and strategic decisions at a moments notice, and map the course to your successful future.

Accounting software is a major financial and time investment for any company. Great Plains provides award winning accounting software. Some basic considerations you need to consider include:

Limit your search to the popular packages with a large installed base. This will ensure that common features will be there. It also ensures there is a pool of 3rd party support including training, consulting, books, web sites and add-on products.
Allow data from your existing system to be easily imported
Ensure the system comes with an industry standard report writer like Crystal Reports
Check out your reseller/installer's credentials very carefully
Make sure the product utilizes a current technology platform. Safe bets here include Microsoft SQL, Oracle and support for Windows 2000 Servers. Marginal technology like FoxPro, Unix, Centura SQL or Dbase should be avoided.
Draw up a wish list covering desired functionality to cover issues like multi vs single locations, multicurrency, number of users
