Boston Microsoft Gold Certified Support Partner
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the maximum business value out of the application.
The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable devices on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
