Sarasota Microsoft Premier Consulting and Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consultants
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the most business value out of the software.
The longer an organization tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. If server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
