Milwaukee Microsoft Gold Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization attempts to make do with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer developed. Current editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
