11 Reasons to Switch from Integration Manager to SmartConnect by eOne Solutions

Nearly every company utilizing Microsoft Dynamics GP has a need for initial and ongoing integrations. Many companies utilizing GP started with Integration Manager for their integrations needs, which served its purpose in its day. Now however, with the introduction of SmartConnect by eOne Solutions, over 2500 customers and counting are taking advantage of the best way to create integrations.

We only recommend solutions that we think provide great value to our customers’ business. We’ve seen our customers save hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars after making the switch to SmartConnect. It is the only integration tool we recommend for Dynamics GP.
