Boise Microsoft Certified Consulting Company
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and derive the most benefit from the application.
The more a business attempts to make do with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable devices on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
