Pasadena Microsoft Gold Certified Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Customization Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the maximum business value from the software.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer released. The latest releases of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may be astronomical.
