Arlington Microsoft Premier Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the software.
The more a business tries to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
