Cleveland Microsoft Premier Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the maximum business value from the software.
The more a business tries to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. If server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
