Fort Worth Microsoft Gold Certified Support
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the most business value from the application.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable devices available to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being distributed. Current releases of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
