Upgrade Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365 Business Central
With Microsoft encouraging Dynamics GP users to make the move to Dynamics 365 Business Central, the advantages of a cloud-based ERP solution have never been clearer. Business Central offers long-term scalability, advanced cloud capabilities, and seamless integration within the Microsoft ecosystem. For companies ready to take this next step, OmniVue is here to make your transition successful. As a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner, we provide a clear and efficient path to upgrade, ensuring a smooth transition that empowers your business to embrace future growth.
Why Act Now?
End of Support Deadlines:
Dynamics GP support ends December 31, 2029, and many Dynamics NAV versions will reach end-of-support between 2025 and 2028. Without ongoing updates and security patches, your system faces increasing risks, including cyber threats, compliance issues, and costly downtime.
Compatibility & Security:
Windows 10 support ends October 14, 2025, impacting Dynamics GP users. Upgrading to Business Central ensures continued compatibility, enhanced security, and ongoing Microsoft support.
Cost & Efficiency:
Legacy systems often come with rising maintenance costs and limited integration capabilities. Business Central offers a scalable, cloud-native platform that automates processes, improves collaboration, and reduces IT overhead.
