Curitiba Microsoft Premier Support

Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades to the point that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the most benefit from the application.

The more an organization attempts to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. When physical host servers or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag suggested for a migration may be astronomical.
