Melbourne Microsoft Certified Consulting Experts
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 ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the most benefit from the application.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable devices available to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates are no longer distributed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
