Yonkers Microsoft Gold Certified Support Partner

Microsoft Dynamics GP, originally called Great Plains, sports a lengthier track record than almost any other enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution made for the Windows OS. Dynamics GP is a proven, full-featured application and is one of the most popular ERP systems for small and mid-size businesses, with around 50,000 active customers globally. A number of organizations who have depended on Dynamics GP for years have managed to postpone upgrades to the point that they now find themselves running seriously out-of-date software and rickety IT infrastructure. This can be risky. Meanwhile, a common complaint we hear from new clients is that they have trouble locating experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP consultants to partner with for in-depth knowledge about how to update their Dynamics GP ecosystem efficiently and get the maximum benefit out of the application.

The more a business tries to make do with outdated releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the more complex the migration process tends to be. When server hardware or storage systems break down, there may be no equivalent devices available to replace them. When editions of Microsoft Windows Server used to host Dynamics GP reach end-of-support (EOS) status, vital security patches stop being distributed. Current releases of Microsoft SQL Server may not work with your special GP customizations. Innovative products like Microsoft's Power BI may not run. Businesses considering an upgrade of their Dynamics GP deployment are often intimidated by the number of components there are to the puzzle. And the price tag suggested for an upgrade may seem astronomical.
