Louisville Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting and Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other ERP solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety 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 experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and derive the most benefit from the software.
The more a business tries to make do with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available 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. Current releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
