Cleveland Microsoft Premier Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the most business value out of the application.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
