Akron Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and derive the most business value out of the software.
The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
