Charleston Microsoft Premier Support Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms 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GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum benefit out of the application.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may be astronomical.
