Joinville Microsoft Certified Support Services

Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than virtually any other ERP solution made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble finding veteran Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum business value from the application.

The longer an organization attempts to make do with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware available to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates stop being released. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the number of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
