Allentown Microsoft Premier Consulting Partner
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier history than almost any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and extract the maximum benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being distributed. Current editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
