Fresno Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Company
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other ERP platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. 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 in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the application.
The longer a business tries to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches are no longer released. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
