DYNAMICS GP END-OF-LIFE IS APPROACHING. ARE YOU READY?
With Microsoft outlining the end-of-life roadmap for Dynamics GP, now is the time to understand how the changes will affect your system, security, and long-term operations. ICS has guided GP customers for more than two decades, and we’re here to help you weigh your options, protect continuity, and map out a future-ready path—whether that includes GP upgrades or exploring cloud ERP.
The Hidden Costs of Staying Put: Maintenance Escalation
Every year that passes without an upgrade, the risk profile of your Dynamics GP environment increases exponentially. You aren’t just running a stable, older system—you are operating a complex business on a foundation that is actively degrading. The older your specific version of GP, the higher the risks are of a critical ERP failure. This outdated reliance creates three primary operational headaches that directly impact your budget and your business’s ability to function.
The System Break Risk
Critical Instability & Downtime
Unsupported versions of GP are prone to breaking without warning due to hardware changes, network updates, or even minor software conflicts. Each system failure leads to paralyzing downtime, lost productivity, and the catastrophic risk of corrupted financial data.
The Support Risk
The Shrinking Pool of Expertise
Microsoft’s support is ending, and the community of IT professionals who can effectively fix complex, deep-rooted issues in older GP versions is rapidly retiring. You are forced to rely on a shrinking, more expensive talent pool for maintenance—turning minor fixes into major, costly scrambles.
The Integration Risk
Innovation Locked Behind Legacy
Today’s business tools (cloud banking, payment processors, modern CRM, automation) rely on seamless, API-driven connections. Older GP systems are locked out, requiring expensive, unstable, and insecure custom workarounds that slow down processes and kill opportunities for growth.
Two Paths to the Cloud. One Trusted Partner.
Whether you choose to “Lift and Shift” your current GP to Azure for immediate security or migrate to a modern Cloud ERP, you are looking at a migration. A successful move requires a clear view of what you have and a strategy to clean it up. ICS helps you prepare your data so you can move with confidence.
Lift & Shift: GP in Azure
Keep your familiar GP environment but move it to the secure, flexible Azure cloud. This buys you immediate time, centralizes remote access, and leverages a modern infrastructure while planning for a full ERP move.
