Brooklyn Microsoft Gold Certified Support Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and extract the most business value from the software.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being developed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of components there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
