Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the maximum benefit from the software.
The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer released. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not work 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 pieces involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
