Charleston Microsoft Premier Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer heritage than almost any other ERP solution written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and extract the most benefit out of the software.
The more a business attempts to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer released. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
