 PROFILE
Great Plains Software is where the buffalo roam to boost their business management. Traditionally a provider of accounting and other back-office software for small and midsized companies ($1 million to $500 million in sales), Great Plains has used acquisitions, including its 2000 purchase of rival Solomon Software, to reinvent itself as a maker of e-commerce business management applications. A push to partner with accounting firms, consultants, and others has boosted Great Plains' distribution and given it a presence in the market for customer service and other front-office software. CEO Doug Burgum and members of his family own 23% of Great Plains, which is being acquired by Microsoft.
