Dayton Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and extract the maximum benefit out of the application.
The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being distributed. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
