Fort Worth Microsoft Certified Support Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the most business value from the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being released. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
