Saddle Brook Microsoft Certified Consultants
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the most benefit from the software.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices available to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches stop being developed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
