Corpus Christi Microsoft Certified Consulting and Support
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the most benefit from the software.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the number of components there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
