Harrisburg Microsoft Gold Certified Support and Consulting
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the most business value out of the software.
The longer a business tries to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
