Microsoft Dynamics GP Update
- Written by: Aleiha Hanson
DYNAMICS GP IS GOING END OF LIFE. WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?
Microsoft is ending support for Dynamics GP on September 30, 2029, and while that may seem far off, the time to start planning is now.
Our recommendation: Dynamics 365 Business Central. It’s a modern, cloud-based ERP designed to streamline operations, improve security, and future-proof your business.
HBS is here to help you evaluate your current—and future—ERP needs, explore alternatives, plan your move, and maximize your investment.
The ERP Team at Heartland Business Systems (“HBS”) continues to support the Microsoft Dynamics GP platform as well as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Microsoft recently announced that Dynamics GP will continue with their support life cycle releases through 2028 and beyond. Microsoft did announce that Dynamics GP would not be available to any new customers starting in April 2026. If you are an existing customer of Dynamics GP, you will be able to purchase new licenses and modules after April 1, 2026. Microsoft knows that Dynamics GP has a loyal community and is fully committed to supporting existing customers and partners.
HBS believes in Dynamics GP and the value and reliability it brings to many of our customers. It is a tried-and-true full ERP solution for a multitude of customer environments. In addition, HBS is also committed to providing customers with a safe and robust cloud ERP solution. We have a dedicated team with certified consultants who can assist with your Business Central ERP Solution. Business Central offers a lot of the same ERP function as Dynamics GP but is Software as a Service (SaaS) versus perpetual licensing and only cloud based on Azure. Two of the highlights of Business Central are the ability to conduct business anywhere because of the Azure platform and deeper integration with other Microsoft programs such as Office and the Power Platform.
Our team at HBS continues to grow to support our practice and changing customer profiles. The ERP Team’s top priority is to provide world-class service and support to all our clients. Whichever ERP solution is the best fit for your environment, know that HBS is here to support you. Our ERP Team has a breadth of knowledge and expertise across both Microsoft Dynamics platforms and supports everything from accounting, workflow, inventory, manufacturing, reporting/BI, process improvement, and so much more. If you would like assistance with reviewing your current system and processes, and to maximize your investments, our ERP Team at HBS is here to help!
