Rockville Microsoft Gold Certified Support Partner
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than almost any other ERP platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the application.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being released. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
