“YourCloud” from Tidestone Solutions Is the Right Cloud for Your Dynamics GP

Hop on the road to success for your Microsoft Dynamics GP solution by choosing the right cloud. Tidestone Solutions has been serving Dynamics GP clients since 1985, except that back then Dynamics GP was known as Great Plains Software and clouds were still formations of liquid droplets suspended in the atmosphere.

Fast forward 30 years to 2018. Now, when we talk about clouds, we’re most likely referring to the technology that is quickly becoming the preferred destination for your ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software. Microsoft Dynamics GP clients are stampeding to the cloud because of the many benefits of the cloud versus the traditional on-premise option.

Fast. Reliable. Cost Effective.  

Those 4 words above define the benefits of GP in the cloud at a high level. And the best benefit of all is that if you choose to move to the cloud, you don’t have to move to another Microsoft Dynamics GP partner, because Tidestone has the right cloud for you. That’s why we call it YourCloud.

Are you interested in learning how much time and money you could save by moving to the cloud? Contact Tidestone’s GP specialists and we’ll walk you through the bottom line numbers.

About YourCloud

YourCloud comes in 2 different flavors, depending on whether you already own Microsoft Dynamics GP or not.

So let’s say that you already own GP and want to move from the on-premise version to the cloud. First of all, congratulations! You’re making a good choice.

As a current owner of Dynamics GP, Bring Your Own License (BYOL) is probably the best option for you. YourCloud provides existing Dynamics GP customers the opportunity to move their on-premise application to YourCloud, where upgrades are FREE and your system is maintained by Tidestone, so you can focus on your business. Moving your on-premise solution to YourCloud is easy. We work together to determine the right time and to minimize the downtime for your users.

You will continue to pay an annual enhancement fee, which includes software updates and service packs. You will still have access to Microsoft CustomerSource. And, you will still have the allowance of support incidents with Microsoft that came with your annual enhancement.

Now, let’s say that you don’t already own Dynamics GP but you want to. First of all, congratulations! You’re making a great choice.

Since you do not already own Dynamics GP, the Microsoft SPLA license is probably the most cost-effective option for you. You will pay a per user/per month license fee based on the number of users your business has. You can easily adjust your user count to add or subtract licenses on a monthly basis. There is no up-front (capital) investment required. There is no annual enhancement fee. Additional functionality, whether it’s from the Dynamics GP suite or from another vendor, can be easily integrated. YourCloud users will be upgraded bi-annually. And, you’ll have the ability to schedule your upgrades when the time is right for your business.

In both cases, whether you’re on BYOL or SPLA licensing, you’ll reap additional privacy, security, and redundancy benefits, which we can discuss with you in greater detail.
