Brisbane Microsoft Certified Consulting and Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than almost any other ERP platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most benefit out of the application.
The more an organization tries to limp along with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security patches stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the project. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
