Addison Microsoft Premier Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and derive the maximum business value out of the application.
The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being distributed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
