Glendale Microsoft Premier Consulting Partner
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the most benefit from the software.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
