Brighton Microsoft Premier Support

Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and extract the maximum business value out of the software.

The longer an organization attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure becomes. If physical host servers or storage 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 (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being released. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may be through the roof.
