Addison Microsoft Premier Support and Consulting
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum business value out of the software.
The more a business attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer released. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
