As a business owner or accounts manager, you may be wondering if upgrading Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly known as Great Plains) is the right move for your organization.

The truth is, there are many benefits to upgrading from Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft's latest enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. In this blog post, we will explore some of the key reasons why upgrading your Dynamics GP system may be a wise investment for your business.

Upgrading from Dynamics GP

Unlock the full potential of your business by upgrading from Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365 Business Central

Enhanced functionality: Dynamics 365 Business Central offers a wide range of new and improved features that are not available in Dynamics GP. These include advanced inventory management, project management, warehouse management, and much more. Additionally, Business Central is fully integrated with other Microsoft products such as Office 365 and Power BI, making it easier to access and share data across your organization.

Improved scalability: As your business grows and evolves, you may find that Dynamics GP is no longer able to keep up with your changing needs. Business Central scales with your business, allowing you to easily add new users, locations, or business processes as needed.

Increased flexibility: Dynamics GP is a traditional on-premises solution, which means that you install and run it on your own servers. Business Central, on the other hand, is a cloud-based solution, which allows you to access your data and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. This increased flexibility can improve collaboration and productivity across your organization.

Enhanced security: Microsoft Dynamics GP is a legacy system, which means that it may not have the same level of security as the latest systems. Dynamics 365 Business Central offers advanced security features such as multi-factor authentication, encryption, and data loss prevention, which can help protect your business from data breaches and cyber threats.

Better integration: Dynamics GP limits your ability to fully customize the system to meet your business needs because it only works with a limited number of third-party applications and add-ons. Dynamics 365 Business Central, however, allows you to easily connect and automate your business processes by being fully integrated with the Microsoft Power Platform, without the need for custom code.

Improved reporting and analytics: Dynamics GP's limited reporting and analytics capabilities make it difficult to gain insights into your business operations. Dynamics 365 Business Central, on the other hand, offers advanced reporting and analytics capabilities, which can help you make better business decisions.

But the benefits of Business Central don't stop there. Business Central fully integrates with other Microsoft products such as Office 365 and Power BI, making it easy to access and share data across your organization. Imagine having all your business data in one place, easily accessible to everyone who needs it. This can improve collaboration and productivity, giving your business a competitive edge.

As a business owner, financial controller, or IT head, you know that security is a top priority. With Dynamics GP, you may be leaving your business vulnerable to data breaches and cyber threats.

Business Central offers multi-factor authentication, encryption, and data loss prevention, ensuring that your business data is always safe and secure.
