Phoenix Microsoft Premier Advisor
Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Enhancement Consulting Services
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier history than almost any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they are now running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum business value out of the software.
The longer an organization tries to make do with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security updates are no longer released. Current editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
