Minneapolis Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the maximum business value out of the application.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being developed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
