Milwaukee Microsoft Gold Certified Support Services
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and get the most business value from the application.
The more an organization tries to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer developed. Current releases of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
