Bellevue Microsoft Gold Certified Support and Consulting
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform 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. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and derive the most business value out of the software.
The longer a business attempts to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable devices available to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches are no longer developed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
