Florianópolis Microsoft Premier Support Services

Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a longer history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance long enough that they are now running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the maximum benefit out of the software.

The longer an organization tries to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices available to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer developed. Current editions of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may be astronomical.
