Indianapolis Microsoft Certified Support Partner
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than almost any other ERP platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum business value out of the software.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
