Bellevue Microsoft Certified Consulting Company
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than almost any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum benefit from the software.
The more a business tries to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
