Raleigh Microsoft Certified Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the most benefit from the application.
The more a business attempts to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the project. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be astronomical.
