Charleston Microsoft Premier Support and Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than almost any other ERP platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they are now running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and extract the maximum benefit out of the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer developed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
