Shreveport Microsoft Certified Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the maximum benefit out of the software.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being released. The latest editions of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
