The End of Support for Dynamics GP: What It Means for Your Business

Microsoft has officially announced the end of support for Dynamics GP (Great Plains), an ERP system that has long supported businesses with their financial and operational needs. Product support will officially end on September 30, 2029, with security updates continuing until April 30, 2031. If your business still relies on Dynamics GP, now is the time to start planning a transition to modern, cloud-based ERP solutions like Dynamics 365 Finance or Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Your Migration Options: Dynamics 365 Finance or Business Central with Copilot

Microsoft offers two key ERP solutions for companies looking to migrate from Dynamics GP:

  • Dynamics 365 Business Central: Designed for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), Business Central offers a comprehensive, cloud-based ERP system that integrates finance, sales, and operations into one unified platform.
  • Dynamics 365 Finance (F&O): Ideal for larger enterprises, Dynamics 365 Finance provides advanced financial management and greater flexibility to support global business operations.

Both solutions come equipped with Microsoft Copilot, a powerful AI tool that automates tasks, delivers predictive insights, and enhances productivity across your organization.

Why Migrate Now?

Migrating from Dynamics GP sooner rather than later allows your business to:

  • Stay secure: Cloud-based platforms offer continuous security updates, ensuring your data is protected from threats.
  • Boost efficiency: Leverage AI tools like Copilot to automate routine tasks and gain real-time insights that help streamline operations.
  • Reduce costs: Moving to the cloud eliminates the need for costly on-premises infrastructure, reducing your overall operational expenses.
