Anchorage Microsoft Premier Consulting Company
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years 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 risky. At the same time, a common theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the most benefit out of the application.
The more an organization tries to make do with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer released. Current editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
