Indianapolis Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other ERP platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and derive the maximum benefit from the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of components involved in the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
