Edmonton Microsoft Certified Consulting Company
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the most benefit from the application.
The longer a business tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
