Edmonton Microsoft Premier Support and Consulting
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting and Support Services
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer history than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and derive the maximum business value from the software.
The more an organization tries to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being released. Current editions of SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
