Santa Rosa Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Company
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than almost any other ERP platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most business value out of the application.
The more an organization tries to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
