Baton Rouge Microsoft Gold Certified Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations 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 using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and derive the maximum business value out of the application.
The more a business tries to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. If server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of 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 work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of components involved in the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
