Bakersfield Microsoft Certified Support Partner
Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other ERP platform written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the most business value out of the software.
The more a business attempts to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
