Fort Worth Microsoft Premier Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than almost any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the maximum business value out of the software.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may be through the roof.
