Webster Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting and Support
Dynamics GP Migration and Enhancement Consulting Services
Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers 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on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they are now using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the most business value out of the software.
The more an organization attempts to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
