Santa Rosa Microsoft Certified Support
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consultants
Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the maximum business value out of the software.
The more an organization tries to make do with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
