Aurora Microsoft Premier Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer heritage than almost any other ERP solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the maximum benefit from the application.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer developed. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
