Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the most benefit from the application.
The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. If physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being released. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
