Panama City Microsoft Premier Support and Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other ERP solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations globally. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the maximum business value out of the application.
The more a business attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. If server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the cost quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
