Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants 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 application.
The longer a business attempts to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices 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 patches are no longer developed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the number of components involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be through the roof.
