Brooklyn Microsoft Gold Certified Support

Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer history than virtually any other ERP solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and derive the maximum benefit from the application.

The longer a business attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
