Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the maximum benefit out of the application.
The more a business attempts to make do with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. If physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces there are to the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
