Learn More

As the clock ticks on Dynamics GP's impending departure, many users are holding onto the prospect of continuing their operations until Microsoft necessitates a shift to Business Central, or until technical glitches force their hand.​

Yet, the reality remains that unmistakable signals are emerging, urging a proactive strategy to shield your business from potential upheavals. If uncertainties loom about your situation, presented here are five undeniable indicators that the time has come to initiate your migration journey-from Dynamics GP to BC, or at least to start plotting your course for this transition.

Scalability

If your business is undergoing notable growth or embarking on expansion, the capacity of Dynamics GP to manage amplified data loads and intricate transactions in the upcoming 1-5 years could become strained. Failing to tackle this concern in its early stages might result in performance issues, bottlenecks, sluggish processes, and an inability to keep up with the escalating requisites hindering your businesses ability to scale effectively.

Migrating to Dynamics 365 Business Central provides a far more scalable solution, with flexible licensing options to accommodate your evolving operational demands.

Remote Working and Accessibility

In the event that your company operates with a remote workforce or necessitates access to your ERP system from various locations, the localised infrastructure of Dynamics GP might impose constraints, ultimately affecting operational efficiency and promptness in responses. In sharp contrast, Dynamics 365 Business Central, founded on cloud technology, delivers a frictionless avenue for remote connectivity. This empowers users to effortlessly access and work with the system from anywhere, at any time.

Integrations

If you’re grappling with the intricate and time-intensive task of amalgamating diverse third-party applications and systems into the fold of Dynamics GP, you’re undoubtedly aware of the inherent challenges in sustaining such an approach. These challenges can lead to data silos, manual data entry, and limited visibility across your business processes.

Dynamics 365 Business Central takes integration to the next level with its native capabilities for smooth integrations. Through connectors, APIs, and the Power Platform, you can effortlessly connect with other Microsoft and third-party applications, creating a unified and connected ecosystem that empowers seamless workflows. No more tangled connections or disjointed processes – it’s all about efficiency and productivity!

Advanced Analytics and AI

If you sense a lag in keeping pace with your competitors, struggling to uncover hidden patterns, trends, and opportunities within your data, or that you’re not optimising your time or resources, Dynamics GP’s lack of advanced analytics and AI capabilities will continue to limit you from achieving your business’s potential.

Dynamics 365 Business Central marks a transformative shift, allowing you to harness the prowess of embedded Power BI for data interpretation and exploration. Additionally, the AI-powered CoPilot feature for intelligent suggestions, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics enhancing decision -making but also amplifies operational efficiency, aligning your trajectory toward realising unparalleled potential.

End of Mainstream Support 2028

If you’re already encountering limitations with Dynamics GP, including unsupported ISVs, it’s essential you consider the future now. Once GP’s mainstream support ends in 2028, you’ll face the absence of critical security updates, bug fixes, and access to new features, leaving your system vulnerable and hindering its long-term sustainability. Migrating to Business Central guarantees ongoing support, maintenance, and access to the latest advancements, safeguarding your business’s ERP environment for years to come.
