Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure.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 new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the application.
The more a business tries to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security updates stop being distributed. Current releases of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may be through the roof.
