Richmond Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most business value out of the application.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. If server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being released. Current releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of pieces there are to the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
