Chandler Microsoft Certified Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and extract the maximum benefit out of the software.
The more an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being developed. Current releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
