Beverly Hills Microsoft Certified Support

Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and get the maximum benefit out of the software.

The longer an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security updates are no longer distributed. Current releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may be through the roof.
