Charlotte Microsoft Premier Advisor
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and derive the maximum business value from the software.
The more an organization tries to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates stop being released. Current releases of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
