Bakersfield Microsoft Certified Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the most benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being developed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
