You’ve probably heard by now that Microsoft’s mainstream support for Dynamics GP ends on December 31, 2029. But what does that actually mean for you and your organization? It means it’s time to start thinking about what comes next in terms of your ERP platform or accounting system, even if you're not quite ready to move yet.
Leaving behind software you’ve relied on for years isn’t easy. Dynamics GP holds your data, supports your business processes, and has likely become a familiar part of how your organization operates. But with the right preparation, your next ERP or accounting system can replace all and more of what you’re leaving behind.
If you’re not sure where to begin, what your options are, your timeline, or how you’ll make the move without disrupting your daily operations, our new Syvantis Learn course, “Preparing to leave Dynamics GP: A comprehensive transition guide,” can give you a roadmap to success.
The course content
There are many elements involved in Dynamics GP's retirement, and a lot of aspects to take into consideration. In our new course, we cover:
- The important Dynamics GP end-of-life dates, so you know what to expect and when.
- An overview of cost for the transition, including different license structures, subscriptions, and active promotions.
- Strategies for getting more out of GP today while you prepare for your eventual move.
- A closer look at Business Central and the features that might make you wonder why you didn’t move sooner.
- A GP-to-Business Central transition checklist to help you keep track of the details and make sure nothing important gets left behind.
The way forward
There’s no single right way to leave Dynamics GP. In our new course, we guide you through three paths you can choose between for your way forward:
- Track 1, Stay on GP as long as possible: “I’m not ready to move yet—what’s my timeline?”
- Track 2, Migrating from GP to BC: “I want to preserve elements of my current system in my move.”
- Track 3, A new ERP implementation: “I want a fresh start in my move to a new ERP platform.”
Whatever your timeline or goals, the important thing is to start planning now. Enroll in our free course, “Preparing to leave Dynamics GP: A comprehensive transition guide,” and take the first step toward a smoother transition.
