Chesapeake Microsoft Gold Certified Support Services
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution 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 SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and derive the maximum benefit out of the application.
The more a business attempts to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
