Lynnwood Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Company
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the most business value from the software.
The longer an organization tries to make do with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer distributed. Current releases of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of components involved in the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
