Detroit Microsoft Premier Support and Consulting
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than almost any other ERP platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the most business value from the software.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
