Partners Look Ahead to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 Release

As Microsoft gets ready to roll out Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 on May 1, partners, MVPs and others are buzzing about the product's new features.

In March when the company officially announced the upcoming release, Microsoft said Dynamics GP 2016 is going to transform the way people and businesses interact with-and what they expect from-their business solutions.

"As customary, the new upcoming major release of Microsoft Dynamics GP follows the trend of delivering new functionality along with bug fixes," Mariano Gomez, Microsoft MVP and Sr. Software Engineer at Mekorma Inc. told us.

Major Focus: HTML Web Client

One of the reasons is the new HTML5 client that will work across devices like iPads and Android, enabling users to work when they want, how they want, with the device they want, according to Microsoft.

However, the major focal point is the release of a new HTML5 web client, which truly puts Dynamics GP on any device running any HTML5-compliant browser - inching closer and closer to Microsoft's corporate goal, says Gomez.

Mark Polino, director of Client Services at Fastpath Inc., believes that the HTML 5 client is going be a "terrific" addition to Dynamics GP.

"The Silverlight web client gave us a glimpse of GP anywhere and I think the new HTML 5 web client will deliver on that vision," he said. "And the connections into Power BI help unify GP 2016 with Microsoft's broader vision for data insights."
