Beverly Hills Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer history than almost any other ERP platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and derive the maximum business value out of the software.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to replace them. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
