Tulsa Microsoft Premier Support Partner

Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, has a longer heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform made for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most widely used ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of businesses who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to postpone upgrades long enough that they now find themselves using legacy software and outmoded IT infrastructure. This is dangerous. At the same time, a recurring complaint we hear from new customers is that they have trouble locating veteran Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to upgrade their Dynamics GP system efficiently and derive the most business value from the software.

The longer a business attempts to make do with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more complex the upgrade process becomes. When physical host servers or disk systems fail, there may be no equivalent devices on the market to replace them. When versions of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP arrive at end-of-support status, vital security updates stop being developed. Current editions of SQL Server might not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative products such as Microsoft's Power BI may not be an option. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment can be overwhelmed by the number of pieces involved in the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for a migration may seem through the roof.
