Bakersfield Microsoft Certified Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the maximum benefit out of the application.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being released. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may be astronomical.
