Aurora Microsoft Certified Consulting Partner
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the maximum business value out of the application.
The longer an organization attempts to make do with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being released. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
