Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and derive the maximum benefit out of the software.
The longer an organization attempts to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer released. Current editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
