Albuquerque Microsoft Premier Consulting Experts

Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP environment affordably and get the most business value from the application.

The longer a business tries to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may be through the roof.
