Campinas Microsoft Certified Support Services

Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and get the most business value out of the application.

The longer a business tries to make do with legacy versions of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there could be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
