This Month in IT History
By: Joseph Puntasecca
Reading BookIn this column I will be bringing you a small piece of history from within the IT community each month.  I have always found trivia interesting, engaging and enlightening.  Our first installment dates back to February of 1993, if my memory is correct this was just a few months before I started my career in IT.
 
Great Plains Dynamics celebrates its sixteenth birthday later this month.  Dynamics was originally released February 27, 1993.  This was the first Windows-based release of the accounting software from Great Plains and the beginning of Dexterity.  The first four modules to ship were System Manager, Report Writer, General Ledger and Modifier.
