Bakersfield Microsoft Gold Certified Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution 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 organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and derive the maximum business value from the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer released. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
