Mission Viejo Microsoft Certified Consulting Company
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the most business value from the software.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
