Custom Dexterity Development

Dexterity is the foundational programming language on which the Microsoft Dynamics GP family of products is written. Being experts in Microsoft Dynamics GP, we are experts with Dexterity. We have an outstanding history of providing unique and clever solutions to maximize the investment in your Microsoft Dynamics GP solution. We're not a development shop that offers everything-for-everyone solutions. If it involves Microsoft Dynamics GP, Dexterity is almost always the best tool for the solution, and we're almost always the best company to provide it.

Experience Counts

We have over 75 customizations in our library, where we've helped almost as many industries. Our experience is wide-reaching, and we often are able to re-use someone else's custom code to benefit your project. We have worked with scores of resellers, augmenting their services by providing for-hire development services when they need us. Our relationships throughout the Microsoft Dynamics GP partner community are solid and interconnected. In the rare event we can't help you with a custom project, chances are solid we can find someone else who can.

Fast, Friendly, and Reliable

Our customers are repeatedly blown away at how fast we turn around custom projects. We try our best to meet the urgent demands of customers or resellers who might be up against a deadline. Being a smaller company allows us to be nimble. (Remember, big things come in small packages. We prove that daily.) We can rapidly juggle our schedule to meet tight demands, and it isn't uncommon for our staff to work late hours or over the weekend when the need arises.

Thinking about offshore outsourcing? Think again. Compare our custom quote to theirs. Sure, they might be 1/3 the hourly rate, but what good does that do when it takes four times as long? Repeatedly we go up against "the big boys" or other development shops, and repeatedly we come in faster and less expensive, with a higher degree of customer satisfaction. Indeed, most of our work comes from repeat clients. We have great references, just ask!

You Get the Source Code, Too!

In case you don't know Rockton Software well, you'll hopefully discover soon that we are, well, a little unconventional. One thing we're adamant about when we do custom work is giving the source code to the customer who hires us. Our lawyers tell us we're nuts, but we think you should benefit from the code you paid good money for. Do you want to make a million on a software project? More power to you! It's your code, you paid for it, so you should get to keep it. Another reason we provide source code to our clients is that it empowers them to use the best resources in the future. It probably will be us, but our egos are not too huge to realize that you might find a different resource in the future to better serve your needs. Or maybe the developer who codes your solution gets mauled by a rhino in a freak accident. Why worry? With the code in hand, you can take your source code to anyone else who works with Dexterity for help.

The Future of Dexterity Development

You might be wondering why anyone would invest in Dexterity development today, given the roadmap Microsoft has provided showing an eventual migration to a unified brand written on .NET technologies. The choice is simple. As of today, .NET is really a .NOT. Yes, that is changing, but the panic to stop using Dexterity and focus on .NET was announced in 2001. We have yet to see the demand for Dexterity services slow down. In fact, it is rising. Why? Over 28,000 companies still use or invest in Microsoft Dynamics GP for their ERP system. Whenever the unified product called Microsoft Dynamics does roll out, it will take years to build in breadth and depth of product features. We are confident there will still be a need for Dexterity well into 2015, and perhaps beyond. If you're using Microsoft Dynamics GP today, Dexterity remains the best tool for custom development. At Rockton, we are constantly on track with the latest releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, and we participate in their Beta programs. Because our entire company rests on the success of the pace of Microsoft Dynamics GP, you can be assured that as technology evolves, we will be writing and updating Dexterity projects into the new generation of technology. So you can guarantee that your custom project will have the development resources to evolve to the next level as Great Plains evolves into the Microsoft Dynamics brand. Dexterity is truly a solid technology that is safe and sane for today's challenging business projects.
