Fort Worth Microsoft Certified Advisor
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer track record than almost any other ERP solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the software.
The longer an organization attempts to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
