Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the most benefit from the application.
The longer a business attempts to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
