Montgomery Microsoft Premier Support and Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a longer track record than almost any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and derive the most benefit from the software.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as 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 there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
