Hayward Microsoft Premier Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the most business value out of the application.
The more an organization tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being released. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of components involved in the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
