Charlotte Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than almost any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the most benefit from the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches stop being released. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
