Charlotte Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum benefit from the software.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
