St. Paul Microsoft Premier Consulting Company
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and extract the most business value from the software.
The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer developed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
