Dynamics GP ConsultantsMicrosoft Dynamics GP, originally branded Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other ERP platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the maximum benefit out of the software.

The longer an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration procedure tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being distributed. Current editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment can be overwhelmed by the volume of pieces there are to the puzzle. And the cost quoted for a migration may seem through the roof.
