Baltimore Microsoft Premier Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other ERP solution made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they are now running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the maximum benefit out of the application.
The more an organization tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure becomes. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer released. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the cost quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
