Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier history than almost any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new 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 system efficiently and get the maximum benefit out of the software.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
