Cambridge Microsoft Premier Support
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the most business value out of the software.
The more an organization tries to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices 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 stop being released. The latest editions of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
