Brooklyn Microsoft Premier Support Partner

Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer heritage than almost 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 SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the application.

The longer a business attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable devices on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of components there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be through the roof.
