Colorado Springs Microsoft Certified Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure.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 locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum business value from the software.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
