I am doing research about integrating a product into Dynamics Great Plains. I have worked with Dynamics CRM before but not with Great Plains. I have heard that GP is a different animal than CRM, even though they share the same "Dynamics" prefix, where do the similarities end, and where do the differences begin?
Has anyone had any experience with both? Are you able to describe some similarities and/or differences between the two? Any caveats, difficult parts, or pain points I should be looking out for in GP ?
I am interested about the entrance points into the product, and ease of extending the user interface.
When I worked with Dynamics CRM, I used a provided Web Service as the entrance point into the application. I read that GP has some sort of web service too, but I've also read that it supports something called eConnect (new to me).
That's a lot of questions I put in here, I'm not looking for a specific answer for every single point, just wanted to get you thinking about the kind of information I am digging for.
Thanks!
