Charleston Microsoft Certified Consulting and Support
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the maximum business value out of the application.
The longer an organization tries to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates are no longer developed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
