Centennial Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and derive the most business value from the software.
The more an organization attempts to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates stop being distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
