Brighton Microsoft Premier Support Partner
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, 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 relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they are now running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the maximum business value from the software.
The longer an organization tries to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When physical host servers 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, vital security updates stop being developed. Current releases of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
