Cleveland Microsoft Certified Consulting and Support
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the most benefit out of the application.
The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates are no longer released. Current releases of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
