Migrating from Dynamics GP to Business Central is a strategic move – especially with Microsoft ending GP support in 2029. The right partner can make the difference between a smooth transition and a costly failure. A partner without deep GP-to-BC experience may treat the project like a simple upgrade, overlooking complexities and derailing timelines. Choosing correctly can ensure a stress-free process; choosing poorly risks wasted budget, frustrated users, and a system that doesn’t fit your needs.
Key Qualities to Look For
Proven GP→BC Expertise: Confirm the partner has successfully completed multiple GP-to-BC migrations. They should understand the technical and functional differences between the systems.
Microsoft Alignment: Look for a Microsoft Solutions Partner (or Gold Partner). This means direct access to Microsoft’s advanced support channels and early product insights – vital for resolving issues quickly.
Industry and Process Knowledge: The partner should know your industry (e.g. manufacturing, healthcare, distribution) and be willing to tailor the solution. TrinSoft, for example, has decades of industry-specific ERP experience.
Customization Skills: Don’t settle for one-size-fits-all. A top partner excels in custom development to adapt Business Central to your unique workflows. We believe in using BC’s native features, but we’re ready to build custom extensions whenever they add value.
Strong Support and Training: Ensure they offer post-go-live support and change management. Migrating ERP affects users across your company, so your partner must provide role-based training and be on hand to fix issues quickly.
