If you are on the way to upgrade GP versions 7.5, 8.0, 9.0 to GP 10.0, then you should read this press release. Microsoft Dynamics GP, or former name of this ERP platform is Great Plains Software Dynamics, Dynamics C/S+, eEnterprise and if you are looking back to earlier GPS ERP versions – Great Plains Accounting (however GPA should not be considered the same as GP ERP application or successor, it is one of earlier GPS DOS, MS Windows and Mac products)
1. You current version. Are you in MS SSQL Server or on older legacy db, such as Pervasive SQL or Ctree/Faircom. You should know your current version, this should be seen if you are in Great Plains workstation and go to help->About
2. Pervasive SQL and Ctree upgrade scenarios. You will have to do migration to Microsoft Dynamics GP on MS SQL Server. This is reasonably simple issue if you use core GP modules, however if you use Great Plains third party modules, such as Intellisol POP, PA, for example – upgrade is more complex, as you have to walk away from Intellisol to regular GP POP module. Technologically migration works as this – it is GP Dexterity chink, which allows you to connect to Btrieve and SQL databases at the same time and it moves transactions one-by-one to GP on SQL Server platform
3. Customizations upgrade. If you have Dexterity customizations, or VBA/Modifier/Continuum modified logic, you should provide your GP support partner with Dynamics.dic, or Dynamics.VBA (VBA/Modifier)
4. Licensing. In order to get GP 10.0 licenses, you should be current in Microsoft Dynamics annual enhancement program. If you need help in being reenrolled into enhancement program please email us or give us a call
