Sandy Springs Microsoft Certified Consulting
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the software.
The more a business attempts to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer developed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
