Boise Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Partner
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most business value out of the application.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer developed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
