Arlington Microsoft Premier Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP Upgrade and Enhancement Consulting
Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. 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 globally. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the most benefit from the application.
The longer an organization attempts to limp along with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer developed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for a migration may seem astronomical.
