Baltimore Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the maximum business value out of the application.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
