Mission Viejo Microsoft Gold Certified Advisor
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the maximum benefit from the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure becomes. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being released. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of components there are to the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
