Bakersfield Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Company
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the most business value out of the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
