Centennial Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other ERP solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the most benefit out of the software.
The more a business attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being distributed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
