Cleveland Microsoft Premier Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other ERP solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades long enough that they are now running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the most benefit out of the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates are no longer developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
