Cabo Frio Microsoft Gold Certified Support and Consulting

Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum business value out of the software.

The longer an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, critical security updates are no longer distributed. Current releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
