Uberlândia Microsoft Gold Certified Consulting Experts

Dynamics GP, previously branded Great Plains, has a lengthier heritage than virtually any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform written for the Windows OS. Microsoft Dynamics GP is a proven, feature-rich application and is one of the most widely used ERP platforms for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers worldwide. Many organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have been able to defer upgrades to the point that they are now running seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be dangerous. At the same time, a common complaint we hear from prospective customers is that they have a hard time locating veteran Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants who can provide guidance on how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and extract the most benefit from the application.

The more a business attempts to limp along with outdated releases of Dynamics GP, the more challenging the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems fail, there could be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When releases of Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being distributed. Current releases of SQL Server might not work with your important GP customizations. Innovative products like Power BI may not run. Businesses investigating an upgrade of their Dynamics GP environment can be intimidated by the volume of components there are to the project. And the price tag quoted for an upgrade may seem through the roof.
