Aurora Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than almost any other ERP solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and derive the maximum business value from the software.
The more an organization tries to limp along with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates are no longer developed. Current editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
