Altico Advisors, a Microsoft (News - Alert) Certified Partner headquartered in Massachusetts, has announced the availability of free Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) trial CDs.

 

While supplies last, companies who want what Altico officials describe as "Microsoft's most popular business and financial management software" can order a free 90-day trial CD from the home page of the Altico Advisors Web site.

 

The newest release, Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 is a financial and business management system aimed at growing and mid-market firms. The product "integrates the back office and financial reports to manufacturing and distribution operations, inventory, order processing, and more," Altico officials say.

 

"The ability to actually use the application before making a purchase decision is key for many people, and understandably so. It's like test driving a car before you buy it," says Altico Advisors' Director of Marketing, Marcia Doron. "Business and financial management software is a major purchase decision."

 

Last November Altico Advisors announced that they would be donating all proceeds from the Year End Class conducted every December for Microsoft Dynamics GP clients to the Central New England Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

 

"There are so many incredibly worthy causes that we could support. Choosing just one is always a difficult task. This year, once again, we chose an organization that is close to our hearts and has personal meaning for us," says Mike Kean, President of Altico Advisors. "My wife Susan and I have personally raised money for MS by participating in the annual MS Bike Ride -- cycling 150 miles over 2 days."

 

Altico co-founder and CEO Rich Maloney concurs: "This act of annual giving is another way of supporting the communities we serve. I'm proud to be part of a company that has its heart in the right place."

 

Early in 2007 Altico Advisors announced that all proceeds from the past Year End Class conducted every December for Altico's Microsoft Dynamics GP clients was donated to the New England Baptist Hospital.

Central New England Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Program Director Judy Cotton sees the direct impact of the Chapter's efforts. "The programs we fund," Judy explains, "provide concrete support in the form of home care and modifications that allow people with MS to live independently and safely at home. But there are intangibles, too. You can't measure or put a price on emotional support."
