Think You Have Time to Move from GP? Think Again.

In September 2024, Microsoft announced the end of mainstream support and updates for Dynamics GP after December 31, 2029. While that may sound like a comfortable runway, the reality is: you no longer have the luxury of waiting. 

Today’s business world is moving faster than ever, driven by cloud innovation and AI disruption. If you’re still on a legacy system like GP, you’re already playing catch-up — and the gap is widening quickly. 

As the saying goes:
“You could afford to be late to the cloud. You won’t survive being late to AI.” 

If you’re still evaluating the Dynamics GP to Business Central transition, now is the time to act. Let’s dig into why moving NOW is critical. 

Why Migrate to Business Central Today?

Future-Proof Your Business

Dynamics 365 Business Central isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a transformation. 

It’s built for the cloud era, engineered for Microsoft Copilot, and ready to handle sales, finance, supply chain, projects, manufacturing, and service — all in one unified platform. 

When you’re migrating to Microsoft Business Central from legacy systems like GP, you gain: 

• Elimination of outdated risks
• Streamlined operations
• Immediate access to AI-powered insights and automation 

Waiting not only delays your growth, it lets your competitors get ahead. Why Microsoft Business Central is better than traditional ERP systems boils down to its AI-native architecture, constant innovation, and seamless scalability. 

Learn why AI is no longer a “future trend” but a current business necessity here.

Get Ahead With AI (Before It’s Too Late)

AI isn “coming”, it’s already here: 

• AI adoption is moving three times faster than the internet did in the 1990s (McKinsey Global Survey on AI, 2024). 

• By 2026, companies not operationalizing AI will be outpaced by at least 50% compared to competitors (Gartner, 2024). 

• 90% of new enterprise apps will embed AI by 2025 (IDC FutureScape, 2024). 

Microsoft Business Central migration opens the door to prebuilt and customizable AI agents, intelligent forecasting, automated workflows, and embedded Copilot experiences — benefits you’ll never get on an on-premise GP system. 

If you’re stuck on Dynamics GP, every month you delay means widening the gap between you and your AI-first competitors.

Avoid Technical Debt and Start Saving Now 

Holding onto outdated systems increases costs not just financially, but operationally: 

• Redundant processes 
• Siloed data 
• Expensive manual workarounds 
• Increased cybersecurity vulnerabilities 

Upgrading from Dynamics GP to Business Central ERP removes these burdens while modernizing your business for the future. 

In fact, a 2024 Forrester Total Economic Impact study found that organizations moving to Business Central: 

• Achieved a 265% ROI over 3 years 
• Realized payback in less than 6 months 
• Saw a Net Present Value (NPV) of $529K 

When it comes to selecting the best ERP for Dynamics GP users, Business Central is not just the next step is the strategic one.
