Louisville Microsoft Certified Advisor
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and derive the most business value from the application.
The longer a business tries to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
