Microsoft Dynamics GP ConsultantsDynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most benefit from the application.

The more a business tries to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. If server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of pieces there are to the project. And the cost quoted for a migration may be astronomical.
