What is Dynamic GP's path to the cloud?
If you have Microsoft Dynamics GP and have heard about cloud ERP, you could be wondering how they fit together. We've curated a list to get you acquainted with GP and the cloud. Here are some things to know:
-Microsoft Dynamics GP is not a cloud product
-Business Central is clearly Microsoft's plan going forward
There are no plans to move GP to the cloud.
The limited migration path for Dynamics GP to BC involves two full implementations with limited data and functionality results.
While Dynamics GP can be hosted in the cloud, it does not have the benefits of a cloud product.
Implementing Business Central will require retraining.
-GP is in maintenance mode
The Microsoft Dynamics GP roadmap is only projecting 1 year ahead instead of 5.
There are no new specific features for GP on Microsoft roadmaps.
-Moving to the cloud will require GP users to move to BC or to another mid-market cloud ERP product
While there are migration tools to move GP data to the Business Central database, nothing yet can migrate the customizations and integrations to Business Central.
