Oakland Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other ERP solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the most business value from the application.
The more a business attempts to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer developed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
