Huntington Beach Microsoft Premier Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum benefit out of the application.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being distributed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
