Aurora Microsoft Certified Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the most business value from the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
