Fresno Microsoft Premier Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than virtually any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the most benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization tries to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
