Microsoft Great Plains – Integration Manager in action
The company uses a version of Microsoft Great Plains (GP) that’s been customized for the PEO industry. One piece of that is Integration Manager (IM). I’ve talked about the bridge application a number of times before. With an Excel file from a client and, with some sophisticated programming, we create a tab-delimited text transaction file for Integration Manager. We’ve set up some profiles in Integration Manager to upload payroll transactions into a batch in the Great Plains system, saving a lot of time and money. In some cases we’ve seen a 91% drop in the amount of time it takes to run a payroll.
Over the next few weeks or so, I’ll be running Integration Manager for the Payroll department. Here are some numbers for today:
| Industry | Transactions | Emps |
| Trucking | 149 | 51 |
| Trucking | 168 | 90 |
| Restaurant | 86 | 43 |
| Restaurant | 94 | 48 |
| Restaurant | 72 | 39 |
| Restaurant | 82 | 34 |
| Restaurant | 94 | 40 |
| Restaurant | 97 | 40 |
| Restaurant | 87 | 47 |
| Manufacturing | 173 | 98 |
1002 transactions, for 530 employees of 10 clients.
