Minneapolis Microsoft Premier Consulting and Support
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier history than almost any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the most benefit out of the application.
The longer a business tries to limp along with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
