Oakland Microsoft Certified Consulting and Support
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than almost any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the maximum business value from the application.
The more a business tries to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. If server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable devices available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
