Parsippany Microsoft Premier Support Partner

Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier history than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a mature, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and derive the maximum benefit from the software.

The more an organization tries to make do with outdated versions of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process becomes. If physical host servers or disk systems break down, there could be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server that run Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security patches stop being released. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Next-generation tools like Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the number of components involved in the puzzle. And the cost quoted for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
