Who says Microsoft Dynamics GP Support is ending soon? Not Microsoft! We have received marketing messages from Netsuite and other Microsoft competitors claiming that mainstream support for Dynamics GP is ending as of January 2023. This is incorrect.
Rumors have you worried? Fear is a powerful motivator! Before you let NetSuite's "information" keep you up at night, let's look at what Microsoft Dynamics has committed to supporting.
Following the normal support lifecycle, support for GP 2018 R2 will end in 2023 but there are supported releases available beyond R2, which many (if not most) of you are already using. There is also an extended GP 2018 R2 support option. Microsoft has committed to mainstream support for Dynamics GP to 2028 and beyond with at least 2 new releases each year.
Do not believe me, see what Microsoft published!
As you can see in this link, Dynamics GP is in support and no retirement date has been announced. This link shows the lifecycle of each release of Dynamics GP and the commitment to 2028 and beyond.
Do not worry, you have Microsoft and Dynavistics Support for years to come. You can plan what is right for your firm and select the timeframe that works for you.
We realize some companies may want to review browser-based applications like Dynamics Business Central or even Netsuite. We stand ready to assist in those reviews, demos, and implementations; however, we want our customers to have full and accurate information when making those decisions.
The support end date of January 2023 is NOT accurate information. Dynavistics is happy to provide full and accurate information so you can make the right choice at the right time for your firm.
