This article is dedicated to Microsoft Great Plains eCommerce and
web software development primarily, plus Microsoft Dynamics GP
customization, integration, data conversion and reporting. As software
programmer you should know where one customization realm exists and

Great Plains Dexterity, eConnect, VBA & GP Integration Manager
o eConnect - was initially introduced for e-commerce web developers, enabling them to link ecommerce web site with Microsoft Dynamics GP on the back end as accounting or ERP
o Dexterity. This technology was introduced in late 1980th and earlier 1990th as EDI and programming language (sanscript) for new Great Plains Software MRP platform - Great Plains Dynamics, coming up to replace former ERP - Great Plains Accounting (available for DOS and MS Windows in 1990th and earlier). Dexterity was archtectured to provide computer graphical platform independence (remember software platform battles: Microsoft Windows, MAC OS, Solaris, etc.) and SQL and DB platform relative independence and portability. Dexterity was securing Great Plains Dynamics future, regardless on who wins on both: computer operating system and database directions
