Microsoft Dynamics GP at Professional Advantage: Unparalleled Expertise and Tailored Solutions

The key dates are as follows:

• 1 April 2025: New customers will no longer be able to purchase perpetual licences for Dynamics GP.
• 1 April 2026: Both perpetual and subscription licences will no longer be available for new customers.
• 30 September 2029: This marks the end of mainstream support, including product enhancements, regulatory updates, service packs, and technical support.
• 30 April 2031: Security updates and patches will cease, marking the official end of life for Dynamics GP.

Microsoft strongly advises transitioning to Dynamics 365 Business Central, a cloud-based ERP solution. This aligns with Microsoft's long-term vision for ERP solutions and provides access to the latest, fully supported technology.

Although the official end dates may seem distant, migrating within the next 1 to 3 years avoids the risks associated with waiting too long. Since Microsoft has already announced the EOL, there will be no further investment in the product, making it prudent to move to a solution with a clear future.

By migrating to Business Central, you will gain access to:

• A modern cloud-based infrastructure with scalability and enhanced security.
• Seamless updates and ongoing support. AI-driven insights and integration with other Microsoft tools.
• A browser-based interface that is intuitive and easy to use.
• The ability to work from anywhere, at any time.

As your trusted partner, we are committed to supporting you through this transition. Our team will help you:

• Evaluate your current processes and identify areas for improvement.
• Explore the advanced features and functionalities of Business Central.
• Customise Business Central to align with your specific business needs.
• Utilise Microsoft's migration tools for a smooth transition.
• Design your new ERP implementation to support your business's future growth and scalability.

Here are the next steps you should consider:

1. Assess Your Current System: Evaluate your current Dynamics GP setup and identify what needs to be migrated or updated.
2. Engage with Your Account Manager: Reach out to your account manager to continue conversations and work through a migration plan tailored to your needs.
3. Develop a 1, 2, or 3-Year Plan: Embed the ERP migration into your short-term plans and upcoming budgets to ensure a smooth transition.
