Albany Microsoft Premier Consulting Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than virtually any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum business value from the application.
The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer released. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
