Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than virtually any other ERP platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and extract the maximum business value out of the software.
The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security updates are no longer released. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
