The Dynamics GP Blogster

As we approach the release date of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013, the Feature of the Day series will inevitably begin to die out. However, the features are here to stay, so hopefully this series remains a place for you to continue learning about the new features long after the RTM version of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 hits the market.
