The Dexterity programming language was designed in the late 1980s for the implementation of platform independent graphical accounting software. Dexterity itself is written in the C programming language. It was used in the development of Great Plains accounting software.
Microsoft Dynamics GP, formerly Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise, is a Dexterity-written application. Microsoft's small business line, Microsoft Small Business Manager and Small Business Financials, were also written in Dexterity and use the same code base as Great Plains.
