Beverly Hills Microsoft Gold Certified Support Services

Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they are now using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the most benefit from the application.

The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
