Cleveland Microsoft Premier Consulting Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than almost any other ERP solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the most benefit out of the software.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being released. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
