Curitiba Microsoft Gold Certified Advisor
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the maximum business value from the software.
The longer an organization attempts to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer released. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
