Dynamics GP Upgrade and Customization Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer history than virtually any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, 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 organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the maximum benefit from the software.
The more an organization tries to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
