Birmingham Microsoft Premier Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually 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 worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the maximum business value from the software.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being distributed. 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 update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
