Barueri-Alphaville Microsoft Premier Support Services

Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems 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 been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment efficiently and get the most benefit from the software.

The more a business tries to limp along with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security patches are no longer distributed. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
