Atlanta Microsoft Gold Certified Advisor
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. 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 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for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the most business value from the software.
The longer an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates are no longer distributed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
