Jundiaí Microsoft Premier Consulting Company

Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, sports a longer heritage than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves using seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from prospective customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the maximum business value out of the software.

The more an organization tries to limp along with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security patches stop being developed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation products such as Power BI may not be an option. Businesses investigating an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
