Detroit Microsoft Gold Certified Support Services
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer track record than almost any other ERP platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the maximum business value out of the software.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of pieces there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
