Addison Microsoft Certified Consulting and Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer history than virtually any other ERP platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and extract the most business value from the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
