Atlanta Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting and Support
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and derive the most benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being released. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
