Addison Microsoft Premier Consulting and Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a common theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and derive the maximum benefit from the application.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may be astronomical.
