Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP version upgrade should be planned, it is not recommended to do it impulsively
Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP version upgrade should be planned, it is not recommended to do it impulsively. In order to facilitate your homework we would like to give you highlights in technical and functional compatibility areas
1. Microsoft Dexterity core. Great Plains is Dexterity application, which has new technologies, incorporated in Dexterity and serving as additions (and in some cases as replacements) to Dex: eConnect, Sharepoint (with approval cycles), Microsoft Office stack integration, plus integrations with Microsoft CRM, RMS and other MS business applications. The message here is to check if you have custom Dexterity logic – this is first step to analyze and address in version upgrade
2. Great Plains Dex modifications upgrade scenarios. Dexterity was designed as GP Dynamics IDE and programming language, and one of its fundamental features is upgradeability. However this should be given to the hands of professional Dexterity programmers. In the best case scenario, you should have DYNAMICS.DIC dictionary with your customization source code (in the case of Dex it is sanscript codes). Dexterity modification upgrade has further specifics, required to be taken to consideration in upgrade, this is outside of the scope here.
3. Third Party modules. Great Plains is the platform, open to Microsoft Business Solutions ISV, who extends GP business logic. Typically these extensions are written in Dexterity and distributed as Dexterity chink. The examples of popular ISV names for Great Plains: Mekorma, Avalara, Intellisol (late 1990th), Albaspectrum, and others. If you deploy third party GP extension module, you should check if third party tool is available for the new version, where you plan to upgrade

Why buy-to-let is a long-term business
Why buy-to-let is a long-term business
By Jim watson
Buy-to-let has come in for some stick recently, with many gloomy predictions that the industry faces downfall because of the slowdown in the general UK property market.
For_Immediate_Release:
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) September 29, 2007 -- Buy-to-let has come in for some stick recently, with many gloomy predictions that the industry faces downfall because of the slowdown in the general UK property market .
Despite the fact that rents are going up because more would-be buyers are opting to put off attempts to get on the housing ladder, a point demonstrated by the frequent 20 per cent plus rise in rents in mortgage renewals revealed by research from Hamptons International this week, many have still talked of a possible crash.
But this is not likely at all, least of all for large, professional investors, Ray Boulger of mortgage advisors John Charcol has stated.
He said: "From the point of view of buy-to-let investors, I would not recommend anyone enter that market with a short-term view." The problem, Mr Boulger explained, is that some smaller investors have done just that in the mistaken belief that a pot of gold awaited at the foot of every rainbow.
"Professional investors are aware that property prices don't just go up forever, but some of the amateurs have been sucked in on the basis that we've had 12 years of property prices rising and they perhaps haven't factored in that that's not going to happen forever," he said, adding that "as long as you expect the return to be good over the long-term, then you accept that".
On this basis, one may conclude that those cases reported in the press of buy-to-let investors who have seen their property market ventures end in tears have fallen into the former category. Those taking a longer-term view, however, with finances geared up to rise out occasional storms, can enjoy the benefits in the long-run.
Mr Boulger stated that house prices are likely to "flatline for a year or so", although in the light of the credit crunch and the wait-and-see approach to interest rates of the Bank of England monetary policy committee (MPC), which has spoken of uncertainty about how the economy will turn and expressed unanimity in holding rates for two successive months, this prediction may not be certain. However, one can hypothesise a situation where, as long as consumer prices index inflation remains below the government's two per cent target, interest rates will fall and the housing market pick up again as a result.
The possibility of such a cut taking place has now been hinted at by MPC member Andrew Sentance, who told the Guardian today that factors such as the credit market situation could exert "downward pressure on inflation", which the MPC would "take into account" when setting rates. Already, the paper notes, analysts are tipping a November rate cut, so such a move will not be a surprise.
Yet whatever happens to interest rates, the economy at large and the housing market in the coming months, the message about the long-term stability of the buy-to-let market is clear: those who are geared up for such an approach, Mr Boulger has stated, will sail into calmer waters in due course, while only those who have chased the quick buck have lost out.

London still promising capital gains
London still promising capital gains
By Jim watson
For years London has seemed like the best and worst of the property market. On the one hand, it has been at the centre of the biggest bang in the loud boom of the UK housing market, with London proper
For_Immediate_Release:
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) September 29, 2007 -- For years London has seemed like the best and worst of the property market. On the one hand, it has been at the centre of the biggest bang in the loud boom of the UK housing market, with >London property prices comfortably outstripping the national average and soaring astronomically in the central areas, driven by high city bonuses and super rich buyers from overseas looking to buy homes, including individuals such as Roman Abramovic and Lakshmi Mittal, who bought a home in London for a then world record £70 million in 2004.
In contrast, the high prices, driving even the average house over the inheritance tax threshold, have brought complaints that the residential market is driving out families and pricing more and more people out of the city. It has also raised the question of whether buy-to-let investments are available at a good price.
For this reason, a Daily Telegraph property feature last week suggested buy-to-let investors would be best off looking in other parts of the country. Having stated that buy-to-let in the regions offered good returns without large investments, it noted the comments of Peter Holden of Assetz, who noted the potential of a number of locations, including>Liverpool Property with its "fantastic" regenaration, Ipswich - where the arrival of the university is an advantage, Swansea with its waterfront and, surprisingly as it may seem to some, south coast locations like Hastings, Littlehampton and Bognor, where Mr Holden advised, properties were certainly not too expensive.
With so many locations enjoying renewal, attractive cityscapes, university accommodation and good prices for investors, one might conclude that London can be written out of the script altogether.
Not so, according to the chief executive officer of London Central Portfolio, Naomi Heaton. There is one factor that will lead to many new opportunities for investors in the capital - the Olympic Games.
She said: "There will be an awful lot of new builds around the Olympic stadium and the Olympic village and the long term Government plan for the Olympic village is for it to become affordable housing for key workers."
Not that it is only the east of the capital around the Games Park in Stratford that will benefit, Ms Heaton added, noting that some 2012 events, such as the beach volleyball and the triathlon, will take place in central London, which, along with the general increase in tourism to its existing attractions, will boost the heart of the city as well, these benefits including a "face lift" of the area and the addition of new transport infrastructure such as crossrail.
However, Ms Heaton notes, there is "almost no new housing stock" in this part of London, with the scarcity bound to increase if demand rises still higher as a result of the games.

Doyell New Search Engine
Doyell New Search Engine
By Suresh Joshi
DoYell has launched a new search engine which caters to web-savvy searchers by ranking results based on what is important to the search audience. At first look, DoYell seems like any other search engine. But once you see how they allow for a preview of your search query, you begin to realize what we are trying to shoot for. DoYell is a new website that offers users information in an easily accessible format. The site claims to reduce confusion over what is an organic search result and what is an advertisement. For DoYell, the priority is to return quality search results. Unlike linear engines that simply prioritize the sources that pay for prime spots, this new engine ranks according to importance to users, not the bottom line. At the heart of DoYell is a matrix of 14 distinct kinds of searchable resources, accessible by entering a search term only once. Searchers can go from web search results to news headlines to shopping and other information resources all in a single click and see what is relevant.
‘Highlight & Search’ for example is a brilliant new feature that lets users move seamlessly between different searches. By just highlighting any interesting text in a result with your mouse and clicking another information resource you get a whole new set of search results for just that text without any additional typing.For example, “Web Search” for your favourite Movie and find 1000s of results based on popularity not payola, click “Movies” and find current and classic trailers, click “Quick Look” and watch one or all of those trailers on the same page without leaving your results, click “Blogs” and see what the web community is saying, or click on “Entertainment News” and get up to the minute updates. “Highlight and Search” for example is a feature that lets users move seamlessly between different searches. By just highlighting any interesting text in a result with your mouse and clicking another information resource you get a whole new set of search results for just that text without any additional typing. But it is not all just fun DoYell is also popular for all kinds of homework and research. Projects can be jump started using the sites “Dictionary/Reference” which offers definitions, a thesaurus, encyclopaedia, almanac, atlas and more. More in depth articles are available via a click on “Wikipedia” the web’s favorite online encyclopedia. And if you need some pics to bring life to your project then just click “Images”.
DoYell really shines both in the depth and breadth of search resources easily accessible through a single search engine, and a design that reflects the growing expectation of online users for attractive, clear, pleasing and easy to use pages. While the art and science of optimization proceeds as a way to get eyeballs onto pages using conventional search engines, the next generation of search engine has appeared at: http://www.doyell.com/

The Incoming Link
The Incoming Link
By Wayan Suparta
The Incoming Link for high search engine rankings
Incoming links are one of the most important factors for high search engine rankings. If your website doesn't have enough incoming links then it's very difficult to get high rankings for a competitive search term.
It's important that you get the right kind of links. If you have 20 good incoming links then you'll get better rankings than with 100 bad incoming links.
So what makes a good incoming link? There are several points that can make a link better than other links:
- The link should use the keyword in the anchor text
- The link should be from a relevant page
- The link should go to a relevant page on your site
- It's good if the link is from an authority site
- The link must not have a nofollow attribute
So why would you want or need a text link on another website? It all goes back to "link popularity." Search engines look at how many other sites are linking to yours when deciding on your ranking. Granted, this is just one criterion, but nevertheless an important one to pay attention to.
