Campinas Microsoft Certified Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. 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 globally. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they are now using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the most benefit from the application.
The more a business attempts to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
