While SmartConnect has so much more functionality, I know some of you like to sell SC as an alternative to Dynamics GP’s integration manager. Microsoft have recently announced that the entry price for Integration Manger will be rising to $5000 and will contain both the financials and distribution components. So the base price of IM has gone up, but the total price has come down. Changes will be effective May 1st 2010. .
Given that SmartConnect covers more modules, Links to and from GP Extender, provides CRM connectors and allows for anything in GP to be automated it is starting to look like even better value.
