Chattanooga Microsoft Gold Certified Advisor
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other ERP platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum benefit from the application.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
