Phoenix Microsoft Premier Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer history 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 platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the most business value from the software.
The longer a business tries to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer developed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
