Calgary Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than almost any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they are now using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the most benefit from the application.
The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being distributed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
