San Francisco Microsoft Premier Support and Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Migration and Customization Consulting and Support Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they are now using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and derive the maximum benefit out of the software.
The more a business attempts to limp along with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
