Upgrading from Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365 can bring significant benefits to businesses of all sizes.

One of the key advantages of Dynamics 365 is its ability to integrate with other Microsoft products, such as Office 365, Power BI, and Azure, allowing businesses to achieve a more comprehensive and cohesive digital ecosystem. This can help businesses to save time and reduce costs by eliminating the need for multiple separate systems.

Why Upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365?

Dynamics GP, also known as Great Plains, is a widely used enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution for small—to medium-sized businesses. However, as businesses grow and evolve, they may find that Dynamics GP fails to meet their needs.

Some of the limitations of Dynamics GP include:

  • Limited scalability and flexibility: Dynamics GP is designed for smaller businesses and may not have the scalability or customization options needed to keep up with growing business requirements.
  • Lack of advanced reporting and analytics: Dynamics GP does not offer the advanced reporting and analytics capabilities that are available in other ERP solutions, such as Dynamics 365. This can make it difficult for businesses to gain insights into their operations and make data-driven decisions.
  • Limited integration capabilities: Dynamics GP does not have the same level of integration with other Microsoft products and services that Dynamics 365 offers, such as Office 365, Power BI, and Azure. This can result in siloed data and systems, which can be costly and time-consuming to manage.

Dynamics GP is no longer being supported by Microsoft: This means that businesses will not receive any updates or security patches for the software. This can leave businesses vulnerable to security risks and make it difficult to comply with regulations.

Dynamics 365 addresses these limitations and more. Dynamics 365 is a comprehensive ERP solution that offers advanced reporting and analytics capabilities, automation and integration with other Microsoft products. Additionally, it offers greater flexibility, scalability, and customization options than Dynamics GP, allowing businesses to adapt the system to their specific needs. With Dynamics 365, businesses can streamline operations, automate processes, and gain valuable insights into their operations to make data-driven decisions.

Don't Let Outdated Software Hold You Back

Microsoft no longer supports Dynamics Great Plains

As of October 2021, Microsoft has officially ended its support for Dynamics GP (formerly known as Great Plains), meaning that businesses will no longer receive updates or security patches for the software. This can leave businesses vulnerable to security risks and make it difficult to comply with regulations.

 

Not only that but with Dynamics GP no longer being supported by Microsoft, businesses will miss out on advanced features and capabilities that are available in other ERP solutions, such as Dynamics 365 Business Central or Dynamics 365 Finance. It also means that businesses will not be able to access technical support from Microsoft, making it more difficult for them to troubleshoot and resolve any issues that may arise that could affect their operations and bottom line. Furthermore, as new regulations or compliance requirements are released, businesses using Dynamics GP may face non-compliance issues.

 

Additionally, it offers greater flexibility, scalability, and customization options than Dynamics GP, allowing businesses to adapt the system to their specific needs. With Dynamics 365, businesses can streamline operations, automate processes, and gain valuable insights into their operations to make data-driven decisions.
