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.

    I apologize for tooting my own horn but there is a better integration software package from Bridge Builder Software which is more flexible, and open than IM.
