Akron Microsoft Premier Support Services
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the maximum business value from the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
