Modesto Microsoft Premier Consulting Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the most benefit out of the software.
The more a business attempts to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer developed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
