Fort Collins Microsoft Premier Consulting Partner
Dynamics GP Migration and Customization Consulting
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and derive the maximum benefit out of the application.
The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security updates are no longer distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
