Beverly Hills Microsoft Premier Consulting Company
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the maximum business value out of the software.
The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
