Brooklyn Microsoft Gold Certified Support and Consulting
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum benefit from the software.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates stop being released. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
