Liverpool Microsoft Premier Consulting Partner

Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a recurring theme we hear from new customers is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the maximum business value from the software.

The more an organization tries to limp along with legacy releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. If physical host servers or storage systems break down, there could be no suitable devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being released. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often intimidated by the volume of pieces there are to the project. And the cost suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
