Aurora Microsoft Gold Certified Support Services
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and derive the most benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization attempts to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
