Vitória Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts

Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer track record than almost any other ERP platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the most business value out of the software.

The longer an organization tries to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. If server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to replace them. When versions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being released. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may be astronomical.
