Saddle Brook Microsoft Premier Support Services

Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer history than almost any other ERP solution written for Windows. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured product and is one of the most popular ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with about 50,000 active installations worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years or decades have managed to defer upgrades and maintenance to the point that they now find themselves running legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is risky. Meanwhile, a recurring complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and derive the maximum business value out of the software.

The longer an organization attempts to make do with legacy versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. When server hardware or disk systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches are no longer distributed. The latest editions of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often overwhelmed by the volume of components involved in the project. And the price tag quoted for a migration may be through the roof.
