Ribeirão Preto Microsoft Certified Consulting Company

Microsoft Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, sports a longer history than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active installations globally. Many businesses who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This is risky. At the same time, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time finding experienced Dynamics GP experts to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the maximum benefit out of the software.

The more an organization tries to make do with legacy releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration procedure tends to be. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being released. The latest releases of Microsoft SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not run. Organizations considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment can be intimidated by the number of pieces involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
