Clearwater Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Partner
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than almost any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the maximum benefit out of the software.
The more a business attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of pieces there are to the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
