Brooklyn Microsoft Gold Certified Support Partner

Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum business value from the application.

The more an organization attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer developed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of components involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
