Alpharetta Microsoft Gold Certified Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum business value from the software.
The more a business attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer released. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
