Alpharetta Microsoft Certified Consulting
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and extract the most benefit out of the software.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer released. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
