Introduction


The ecosystem around Microsoft Dynamics GP is huge. There are a significant number of third-party applications for Dynamics GP designed to provide additional functionality, address industry-specific requirements, and improve efficiency. A few of these applications are even free. Certainly some of these free applications are designed to generate interest in the vendor's other offerings, but that doesn't mean that they aren't valuable. Also, some of these applications require registration but if that's the only price, it's close enough to free in my opinion.

Many of these free tools come from leading vendors in the Dynamics GP ecosystem and some of them come directly from Microsoft.

In this chapter, we'll take a look at functionality offered by various free, third-party applications. I don't have any kind of monetary arrangement with any of these vendors. I'm just a sucker for free software and more features.
