Beverly Hills Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have depended 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 rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the maximum benefit out of the application.
The longer a business tries to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates stop being developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
