Aurora Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective 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 business value from the application.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates stop being released. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the cost quoted for a migration may be astronomical.
