Bristol Microsoft Premier Support Partner
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other ERP platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and get the most benefit out of the software.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being distributed. Current releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
