Scottsdale Microsoft Certified Consulting Partner
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer heritage than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the software.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be through the roof.
