Belo Horizonte Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting and Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new customers 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 ecosystem affordably and extract the maximum benefit from the application.
The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of components involved in the project. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
