São Paulo Microsoft Premier Support Services

Dynamics GP, previously called Great Plains, has a longer track record than virtually any other ERP platform written for Windows. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for SMBs, with about 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have relied on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades long enough that they are now running legacy software and outmoded network infrastructure. This can be dangerous. Meanwhile, a common theme we hear from new clients is that they have a hard time locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants who can provide in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP environment affordably and extract the maximum benefit from the application.

The longer an organization attempts to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more challenging the upgrade process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no suitable hardware on the market to use as substitutes. When releases of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, critical security updates are no longer developed. The latest editions of Microsoft SQL Server may not be compatible with your special GP customizations. Innovative tools like Power BI may not run. Organizations investigating an update of their Dynamics GP environment are often overwhelmed by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
