Brooklyn Microsoft Premier Consulting Company

Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP solution made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and get the maximum business value from the software.

The longer a business tries to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being distributed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
