Recife Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts

Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a lengthier track record than almost any other ERP solution written for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP systems for SMBs, with around 50,000 active installations worldwide. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and rickety network infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a recurring theme we hear from prospective clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Dynamics GP experts who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP system affordably and extract the most business value out of the application.

The more a business tries to limp along with outdated versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure becomes. If server hardware or storage systems break down, there could be no suitable hardware available to replace them. When editions of Windows Server that run Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer released. The latest releases of SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an update of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem astronomical.
