Montgomery Microsoft Premier Support Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations globally. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the most business value from the software.
The longer an organization tries to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable devices available to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches are no longer developed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
