Chattanooga Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Company
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer heritage than almost any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the maximum business value out of the software.
The more a business attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
