Charlotte Microsoft Certified Support Partner
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier history than almost any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and extract the maximum business value from the application.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer developed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
