Austin Microsoft Certified Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consultants
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other ERP platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and extract the most business value from the application.
The more an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
