Detroit Microsoft Premier Advisor
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most benefit out of the application.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer developed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
