#MSDynGP Microsoft Dynamics GP System Audit
Last year Dynamic Communities, in conjunction with Njevity, held a Dynamics GP Strategic Planning Summit delivered over 5 weeks.

#MySummitNA Winthrop Development Consultants at Community Summit Nashville 2026
In just under a month’s time my wife, Jennifer, and I will be flying from Perth via Sydney and Dallas/Fort Worth to Nashville, Tennessee, USA for two weeks at the Community Summit 2026 conference.
During the first week (Monday 5th to Friday 9th October 2026), I will be running Dexterity Fundamentals training at the massive Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville. Then on Sunday 11th October, I will be running Academy training for GP Power Tools.
Once the conference starts you will find us at Expo Booth 321. Swing by and say G’day.
Read on for more information on the two training classes and the sessions I am presenting or assisting with.

Calling all Microsoft Dynamics GP customers and partners.
It is vital that you have “in-house” knowledge and skills to support and maintain your customizations. With the upcoming changes to the Microsoft Dynamics GP support and consulting landscape, if you work with any customizations to your Microsoft Dynamics GP system, you need to know how to maintain them.
David Musgrave from Winthrop Development Consultants will be running two extremely valuable development training courses in the lead up to Community Summit 2026, and now is the time to register. There is no guarantee these classes will be offered again.

#GPPT GP Power Tools turns 20 years old (including Special Deal)
Yesterday marked the 20th Anniversary of the creation of the MBS Support Debugging Tool. This was the original name of the Dexterity based Tool originally created by David Musgrave while he was an Escalation Engineer on the Asia Pacific customer services and support team for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
The tool was released publicly to partners two years later on 03-Sep-2008 as the Support Debugging Tool (dropping the MBS prefix). With the help of Pam Mishialek, David secured the rights to the software, and it was renamed and re-released on 07-Jul-2015 as GP Power Tools.
