Santiago Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting and Support

Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP experts who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the maximum business value out of the software.

The more an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable devices on the market to use as substitutes. When versions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security updates stop being developed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
