Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than almost any other ERP platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the most business value from the software.
The longer a business tries to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches are no longer developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
