Clearwater Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most benefit out of the software.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
