Login Performance Issue When Not Internet Connected

A recent support case identified that, on systems which are not internet connected, Winthrop Development Consultants products can cause a significant delay when logging into Microsoft Dynamics GP.

This article explains the cause and what has been done to resolve this issue in the latest builds.

#BPST Batch Posting Service Toolkit build 10 released

Winthrop Development Consultants is pleased to announce Build 10 of Batch Posting Service Toolkit (BPST) for Microsoft Dynamics GP was released on 20-Dec-2018.

This build incorporates a new suite of service procedures which allow for creating, editing and deleting batches. Microsoft Dynamics GP offers Service Based Architecture (SBA) web services for adding transactions to existing batches, but provides no method to create the batches. Batch Posting Service Toolkit now provides that functionality as well as its existing posting functionality to complete the process from beginning to end.

New presentation on the Benefits of Winthrop Development Consultants products is now available

Selling GP Power Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP has always been an interesting affair. If you can get a customer to sit and watch a demo (live or on video from the GPPT Portal), they immediately see the benefits and want the product. However, it is usually the people who work with the product day to day who see the demo and then they find it hard to sell to management.

GPD Pocket 2 7″ Mini Laptop Windows 10 PC

You might have seen my posts on Twitter and Facebook recently about my new toy mini laptop PC, the crowd funded GPD Pocket 2.

I have been burnt before with crowd funded projects (I supported 3 smartwatches and only one make it to production and it under-delivered 😦 ), so I was wary of getting involved again. However, this was the second generation of the GPD Pocket and demo devices had already been delivered to a number of YouTube reviewers. I felt fairly safe to get involved with crowd funding again, as this would give me a discount and get the device earlier.
