Akron, Ohio Microsoft Premier Consultants
Dynamics GP/Great Plains Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they are running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. Another recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have been unable to identify veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to get the most from the application.
The more a business tries to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure becomes. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable devices on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being released. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
