Our Dynamics Implementation Tiers
Your business thrives by gaining a competitive advantage and staying current with the latest technology. It is critical to upgrade your system as technology and your business practices change. The best approach is two-fold:
- Choose a solution that is easy and cost-effective to upgrade
- Partner with a solution provider who will build and budget for regular upgrades as part of your implementation plan.
When working with Western Computer to implement a Microsoft Dynamics solution, we will listen to you about your current situation and future plans, and craft a plan to implement upgrades that will meet your needs and your budget.
Fresh Start Upgrades – Clean Up Your Data & Processes
If your company is running under a legacy and/or heavily modified Dynamics system, we provide “Fresh Start” upgrades to get you back to using the standard solution. This Fresh Start allows your company to better take advantage of the updated functionality of the latest solution, as well as any complementary add-ons that would benefit your business.
A Fresh Start Upgrade is more cost-efficient than bringing a complex environment up-to-date. More importantly, it gives you the opportunity to review your business processes, clean up your data, and improve everyday operating practices.
Still Running Dynamics GP? Build a Clear Path to the Cloud
If Microsoft Great Plains has been the backbone of your finance and operations for years, you're not alone. But as timelines tighten and modernization pressure grows —security vulnerabilities, limited integrations, outdated reporting, and manual processes—many GP teams are asking: What's next?
Western Computer helps GP organizations migrate with confidence and minimal disruption. Whether you're considering Dynamics 365 Business Central or Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management, we'll build a practical migration strategy tailored to your timeline and business requirements.
