Winthrop Development Consultants is fully committed to the Microsoft Dynamics GP product, its ecosystem and its community. We put a huge amount of effort into making the lives of the members of the GP Community easier, simpler and less stressful.
As part of this stress release effort, we are very proud to sponsor the PowerGP Online Party at Community Summit 2023 in Charlotte, NC, USA.
Microsoft Dynamics GP customers, please take this quick, anonymous Current State of Dynamics GP survey now.
For the last 25 years or so, questions have been asked about the future of Microsoft Dynamics GP. I partially based my decision to leave Winthrop Dexterity Consultants in 2000 to become a Microsoft employee because of the “imminent demise” of Dynamics GP.
Fourteen years later, when I left Microsoft and started Winthrop Development Consultants, Microsoft Dynamics GP was still well and truly alive and going strong.
Winthrop Development Consultants as an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) is fully committed to the Microsoft Dynamics GP product and its ecosystem.
Our products are designed to work only with Microsoft Dynamics GP and have been created based on missing features and functionality that the GP community have asked for.
This mathematics problem has been going around the internet recently and most of the answers I have seen for it published in comments, blogs and videos are actually incorrect. While the equation is stated in a deliberately ambiguous way, it can only have one correct answer and that is not the answer that most of the articles and videos provide.
I have left this a bit later than I planned, but this is a request for sponsorship to help me fight cancer and its effects on those fighting this horrible disease as well as on their friends and family.
Canteen Australia is an amazing charity that supports youth and young adults who have been affected (directly or indirectly) by cancer. The Life Cycle for Canteen charity bike rides are the largest single source of financial support for Canteen in Western Australia. Since 1998 over $2,500,000 has been raised and donated.
This Public Service Announcement comes about after I received or saw messages from three Facebook Friends in the last week that they have been “Hacked” because someone was sending out Fake Friend Requests pretending to be them.
While Fake Friend Requests are definitely a problem and need to be dealt with correctly, they are not an indication that you have been hacked or that your account and passwords have been compromised in any way.
Winthrop Development Consultants was recently notified by InstallAware, the supplier of the installer software used for the distribution packages for all our products, that a Security Vulnerability was identify in their product. They have released a new version that resolves the issue.
However, the issue will exist on all machines that have used an installer built with the previous compromised versions of their installer software.
Using the newly fixed installer software, we have created and released new builds of all our products which should be installed at all customer and partner sites as soon as possible. Any build of any of our products downloaded and installed after 10-Aug-2022 contains the fix.
[Edit] Old builds with this security vulnerability were discontinued at the end of December 2023, except for final builds of old GP versions. More details below.
Yeah. I admit it.
I messed up! ☹️
But it is sorted and fixed now, thanks to a great article by my friend and fellow MVP, Jen Kuntz.
You might be aware of the new Security requirements for Bank Account Numbers which applies to ACH Originators and Third-Parties with more than 2 million ACH payments annually and becomes effective on 30-Jun-2022.
NACHA, the governing body for ACH transactions in the United States, is rolling out updated security requirements which are actually best practice whether you meet the transaction level targets or not.
Read on for how you handle the requirements on your Microsoft Dynamics GP system.
This is a completely off topic post for me. It is not Microsoft Dynamics GP, Robotics or even puzzle related.
We recently moved house (twice) and during the shift from the original home to the final home, our Xbox One gaming console remained boxed up while we lived in temporary accommodation. When we unpacked the console after the second move it failed to power on. ☹️
