Indianapolis Microsoft Gold Certified Support and Consulting
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they are now running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the maximum benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being developed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
