    End-of-life Announcement for Microsoft Dynamics GP
    Hi Trevor 
     
    You need to make sure you look at ISV products. The ISV community are still actively developing new functionality.
     
    I know that my GP Power Tools adds many modern features. The latest build added “No code/Low Code” customisation to GP and the ability to add fields to windows via code, no modified or alternate windows needed.
     
    Regards

    I’m curious—how are companies planning to handle this transition, especially those who are invested in field service operations? Are most people looking to fully migrate to Dynamics 365 Business Central, or are they exploring ways to extend the life of their current systems in the meantime? I’d love to hear how others are approaching this shift.

    It is started back in 1990 and now it is 2025, 35 years is good time to stay. 5 years of time to switch over is good time with Technology changing every day. Who knows what AI/ML will be doing for us in next 5 years.

    Terry, thank you for always being a trusted source of reliable information regarding GP. While I've been prepping my customers that this time is coming, I'm also asking them to remain calm and make good business decisions rather than just react to whatever Microsoft decides to say or the FUD from the competitive marketplace. In my almost 30 years of GP consulting, I've learned this product is resilient and is still a fantastic solution for so many companies across myriad industries. Thanks again for your service over the years.

    Hi guys
     
    Project Green was a success.
     
    It was a feasibility study to see if all the ERP solutions could be combined into a single product.
     
    The project successfully came back with the answer No.
     
    Dave Gaboury clarified this for me years ago.
