Morgan Hill Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting

Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades long enough that they are now using legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble finding experienced Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem affordably and get the most business value from the application.

The more a business tries to limp along with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process becomes. When server hardware or disk systems fail, there may be no suitable devices available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being released. The latest editions of SQL Server might not be compatible with your important GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the volume of components there are to the project. And the cost suggested for a migration may be through the roof.
