I didn't mean any disrespect.
Tearing out an accounting system and replacing it with something
different is no small task. Data has to be migrated, procedures have to
be changed, employees have to be retrained, and extensive testing has to
be done to ensure you're getting the same results. Why go through all of
that unless it is absolutely necessary? That's all I was asking.

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.

Why are you recommending replacing Great Plains? Is there a problem
with
it?
If their accounting software is working for them, then why not
create
some connector code to get OFBiz eCommerce to feed data to Great
Plains?

We are working on an ecommerce replatforming project that will
replace
our client's existing ecommerce platform with OFBiz. They are
currently running Great Plains for AP and GL and we are
recommending
they use OFBiz for this functionality and retire Great Plains.
They have requested some information about who else is
successfully
using OFBiz for accounting and are concerned about dropping a
"name
brand" accounting package. Any information the community could
produce
is appreciated. For example, an explanation of projects you have
worked on where OFBiz was used for some or all of accounting. I do
not
expect client names or references.
