Baltimore Microsoft Gold Certified Support and Consulting
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and derive the maximum business value from the application.
The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer released. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
