Charlotte Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have relied 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. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the most business value out of the application.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
