Appleton Microsoft Premier Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the most business value from the application.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable devices available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being distributed. The latest 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 considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
