Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble finding veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and extract the most business value from the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the project. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
