San Rafael Microsoft Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and derive the most benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization tries to make do with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable devices on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates are no longer distributed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
