Lynnwood Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made 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 around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the most business value out of the software.
The more a business tries to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
