Are you a Dynamics GP user in need of a new ‘pair of socks’?
There comes a time when you need to make a change.
Like your favourite pair of comfy socks, Microsoft Dynamics GP has served you well over the years and kept your business operations cosy and safe. However, as time goes by, the socks have worn down, holes appeared, and they are no longer fit for purpose.
Originally called ‘Great Plains’, GP is essentially a desktop accounting package made for small businesses.
In recent years there has been a decline in new GP releases and a lack of a long-term development roadmap. This suggests it’s unlikely to have any further updates, meaning direct support dwindles and eventually, the software will become obsolete.
Using a legacy solution to run your business comes with its own challenges – read our blog ‘5 Signs your accounting software is failing you’ to see why so many businesses have migrated to the cloud.
Where to go from here…
You may feel that your hand is being forced – either you choose between continuing to pay for an out-dated model, upgrading to an alternative Dynamics solution, or switch to something entirely new.
For GP users, now is a good time to start looking to replace your system with a new, best-in-class solution that has a long-term roadmap, will support future technologies, and grow as your business grows.
