Bakersfield Microsoft Certified Support Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer heritage than almost any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and derive the most business value from the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer developed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
