Naples Microsoft Gold Certified Advisor
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer track record than almost any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum business value out of the application.
The more an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being released. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
