Cambridge Microsoft Gold Certified Support Partner

Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the maximum benefit out of the application.

The more a business tries to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. If physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being distributed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
