If you are a GP customer, you might wonder about your ERP options. GP is a legacy product no longer updated or supported by Microsoft, so you need to think about your next move. In this blog post, I will outline your three main ERP options and some important considerations to remember.
Sticking with GP is the easiest and cheapest option if it works for you. Accepting the limitations and risks of running an unsupported and outdated solution would be best. You cannot take advantage of modern ERP platforms' new features, integrations, or technologies. You must also deal with potential security, compliance, and compatibility issues. This choice is only practical if you have simple and stable requirements that do not change over time.
The second option is to migrate to one of Microsoft's two cloud-based ERP solutions: Business Central (BC) or Finance and Supply Chain Management (FSCM). These are Microsoft's latest and most advanced ERP solutions, which use the power of the cloud, artificial intelligence, and analytics. They integrate seamlessly with Microsoft products such as Office 365, Power BI, and Azure.
However, these solutions differ from GP and require a re-implementation, not an upgrade. It would be best to evaluate which suits your needs better, as they have different functionalities, complexities, and costs:
The third choice is switching to another vendor's ERP solution. This may give you more options and flexibility regarding features, pricing, and support. However, you will also lose the benefits and synergies of staying within the Microsoft ecosystem. You must deal with potential integration, compatibility, and migration issues. You must also learn a new system and adapt to a different user experience.
