Phoenix Microsoft Certified Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the maximum business value out of the software.
The more an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security patches stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
