Carlsbad Microsoft Certified Consulting
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the maximum business value from the software.
The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer distributed. Current releases of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
