Anaheim Microsoft Premier Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and derive the most business value out of the application.
The more an organization tries to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates stop being distributed. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
