Schaumburg Microsoft Premier Consulting and Support
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting Experts
Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and extract the most benefit out of the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates are no longer distributed. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
