We got a little sneak peek of GP 11 today. Remember, GP 11 isn't due until early 2010 so settle in with version 10 for a while.
But for those of you who can't wait, GP 11 should provide even tighter office integration including a new Excel Report builder. If Smartlist Builder and Excel had a love child, it would be Excel Report Builder.
Also, they demoed native GP invoice creation via Microsoft Word. For all the new reporting features that have been added, GP has never moved core reporting functionality from Report Writer. They duplicated reports in SSRS or Excel but never tied anything other than report writer to the core reporting interface. This is a big deal and it marks the start of the end for Report Writer.
For those of you who were hoping that the rolldown style multiline interface of the GP grid would go away, I'm sorry to say that the demo still had the grid style that you're used to.
If you want to change that, or anything else in the product, visit the Speak Your Mind booth at Convergence or hit up the new Connect for Microsoft Dynamics site to give your product suggestions.
