Barra da Tijuca Microsoft Premier Consultants

Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the most benefit from the software.

The longer a business attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches stop being released. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering 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 be through the roof.
