Centennial Microsoft Premier Consulting Company
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance 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 finding experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the most business value out of the application.
The more a business attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being released. Current releases of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
