Atlanta Microsoft Gold Certified Support
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than almost any other ERP solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and get the most benefit out of the application.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. If server hardware or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer developed. Current releases of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
