We have seen technology advance at exponential rates in medicine, life sciences industries, personal computing, manufacturing and many other industries. In the world of software development the consumer applications market has been driving software innovation since computers became common household items, but business software has recently been catching up and it’s being led forward by cloud based business software.
Microsoft Dynamics GP, a popular enterprise resource planning solution, is one of the most user friendly business applications on the market. One of the reasons Dynamics GP has been so successful is that the software is constantly being enhanced to meet consumer software trends and business consumer demands.
In May Microsoft released a new version of GP 2013 with yet another version, Dynamics GP 2015, due to come out in just a few months. GP 2013 R2 offered several new enhancements to the software to make it more appealing to users including enhancements to financial reporting, financial management, SmartLists, workflow approvals and distribution, along with newly added companion apps.
For products like Dynamics GP, the time between upgrades will only get shorter and shorter as technology habits continue to change. This will lead to cloud based busieness software becoming more and more valued for its agility and simple, cost-effective ability to be upgraded.
We have become so dialed into to our technology in recent years, it’s now a cliché to say the first thing we do in the morning is check our phone for social, email, texts or any of the ways to communicate. This recent intimacy with technology is driving rapid change in the business software market as workers, more so than ever before, are computer savvy and more picky about the way they use technology and the types of machines they use.
Organizations that meet their employee’s tech needs will inevitably increase productivity and increase the value of their technology as their people are more apt to use it. As consumer technology continues to change, business software solutions like Dynamics GP that keep pace with the change will become an increasingly valuable part of an organizations processes.
