Why you should stay on Dynamics GP

In the current landscape of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, it’s easy to be swayed by the allure of new platforms and the promises they bring. However, for those running their businesses on Dynamics GP, the question isn’t just about what’s new—it’s about what works. Here’s why Dynamics GP customers should remain committed to a system that has proven its worth time and again. 

Proven Reliability and Deep Functionality

Dynamics GP has been the backbone of countless businesses for decades. It’s a system that has evolved alongside the companies it serves, offering a level of reliability and depth that other systems simply can’t match. Dynamics GP isn’t just an Accounting/ERP system; it’s a comprehensive platform that integrates seamlessly into your business operations, from financial management to inventory control, and everything in between. 

Dynamics GP isn’t just an ERP system; it’s the backbone of your business with proven reliability and deep functionality.

Many businesses have customized their Dynamics GP environments to suit their unique needs, leveraging the robust ecosystem of third-party add-ons (ISVs)  that enhance and extend its capabilities. This deep functionality is something that newer systems cannot yet rival, especially in industries requiring specialized solutions​ like process manufacturing, field service and HR/Payroll.

Seamless Integration with Line of Business Applications

Your business isn’t static, and neither is Dynamics GP. It integrates effortlessly with a wide range of business applications, providing the flexibility needed to adapt as your business grows. Whether it’s connecting to CRM systems, e-commerce platforms, medical billing systems, mobile field service devices or advanced reporting tools like Power BI and the Power Platform, Dynamics GP’s integration capabilities ensure that all your critical business data is connected, accurate, and actionable​​.

A Community and Ecosystem That Support Your Success

One of the often-overlooked strengths of Dynamics GP is the vibrant community that surrounds it. With over 40,000 users, Dynamics GP has a thriving ecosystem of developers, and users who are passionate about helping each other succeed. This community offers unparalleled resources, from online forums to in-person events, ensuring that you’re never alone when navigating challenges or exploring new possibilities​. 

With a strong community and powerful integration capabilities, Dynamics GP continues to evolve with your business needs.

Moreover, the ecosystem of independent software vendors (ISVs) supporting Dynamics GP offer innovative solutions that are embedded within GP, further extending its capabilities, and ensuring that you can continue to rely on your system as your business evolves.

Stability and Peace of Mind 

Microsoft has committed to supporting Dynamics GP through 2031 (7 years from now). This isn’t just a promise; it’s a testament to the system’s resilience and continued relevance. Unlike newer systems that may face growing pains, Dynamics GP is a mature, stable platform that you can trust to keep your business running smoothly. And based on the way Microsoft has “retired” other products, it is likely there will several extensions that take us well past 2031. And even if there are not, Dynamics GP is not going to suddenly stop working. That’s why Njevity will still be here to support you, to train your users, and to customize and create integrations for your GP systems for as long as you want to use them.

Stick with What Works

Dynamics GP is more than just an ERP system; it’s the backbone of your business. With its proven reliability, deep functionality, and strong community support, there’s no reason to switch to a less functional platform. If GP is still able to meet the needs of your business, do you really want the expense, distraction and frustration of a costly ERP replacement project just to end up with an ERP system that does less for your business? If you are not getting something of real, tangible value at the end of the re-implementation process, why put your business through that kind of pain? We have taken long looks at other ERP systems, and we have concluded that Dynamics GP and its family of ISV solutions are still the best ERP platform for mid-market companies in America. So, we have no plans to move to another ERP system. We do not want “worse” for our business, do you?

Whether you’re staying on-premises or moving to the cloud with PowerGP Online, Dynamics GP remains a solid choice for businesses that value stability, functionality, and peace of mind.
