I agree with adrian though Microsoft has taken over GreatPlains, it is still good software. It does tie you to a Microsoft Server, as a down side. if you want to migrate to ofbiz I suggest you run the two in tandem for a year. then if ofbiz agrees with great plains then consider a switch over. i am running ofbiz against intuit, and they don't agree all the time.
