Dynamics GP, SL, 365: It’s All About What’s Best for Your Business

Some companies using Microsoft Dynamics ERP products like GP or SL are feeling some pressure these days. If you’re reading this, it’s altogether possible you’re one of them. That’s because you’re probably looking for a way to take the heat off.

Maybe You LIKE Where You Are

That heat may be coming from the Microsoft Partner who is currently providing you with support. They may be telling you that you really need to start planning to move off your current Dynamics platform onto Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and take full advantage of all the benefits of being in the cloud. The fact is that we recommend switching for many of our own clients. But we do recognize that some companies are not yet ready to move while others simply aren’t able to at this time for a variety of very good reasons. Others are simply unwilling to fix anything they don’t see as broken, which is their right.

The veiled threat from some partners is that support for your GP or SL may soon be withdrawn and become unavailable. You’ve been warned about how disruptive that may be to your business if you’re not already safely out of there and working in the cloud. That’s not entirely true.

According to Microsoft official and widely published policy basic support must be continued for five years after any of their products are discontinued, and extended support must continue even longer. You’ll have plenty of notice when and if your much-needed technical support is ever going away. So you can stop worrying about that.

What your current partner may be trying to avoid saying is that they themselves don’t want to be continuing to support on-premises versions of the Dynamics suite anymore. That’s not uncommon and it’s not altogether their fault. It’s well-known that Microsoft has been driving the market, its partners and its customers to the cloud for many years now.  Many partners getting a little carried away with their messaging and overstate the need to move. While we are huge proponents of clients taking advantage Dynamics 365 in the cloud, we are in no way abandoning our clients who have chose to keep their solutions on premises.  In fact, we support well over a thousand companies today that do just that.
