Sarasota Microsoft Certified Support Partner
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the most benefit from the software.
The longer a business attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer developed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
