Mobile Microsoft Certified Consulting Company

Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer track record than almost any other ERP solution made for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and outmoded IT infrastructure.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 finding experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and get the maximum business value out of the software.

The more an organization attempts to make do with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade procedure tends to be. If physical host servers or disk systems fail, there could be no suitable hardware available to use as substitutes. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support status, critical security patches stop being developed. Current editions of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the cost suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
