Charleston Microsoft Premier Consulting Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and derive the most benefit out of the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security updates are no longer released. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
