Dayton Microsoft Gold Certified Support and Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum business value from the application.
The more an organization tries to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer released. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
