Dynamics GP 2013 is coming to the end of its support lifecycle on April 18th, 2018. At this time, Microsoft will no longer be releasing any new updates (hotfixes / service packs / year end updates). In our fast-paced world, technology is rapidly changing, and a lot can happen in five years. GP users have sounded off about what they want to see, and Microsoft has taken heed, jam-packing Dynamics GP 2018 full of new and improved features.
Here are five reasons to upgrade today:
- Better support – After five years, every version of Dynamics GP moves to Microsoft’s Extended Support plan. At this point, you’ll have to pay for any on-going support or non-security updates you may need and eliminates your ability to request changes to GP’s design and features.
- Tighter security – Data security should be a top priority for your business, especially when it comes to your financial data. Unfortunately, you’re more to experience a security breach on a version of GP that is no longer under Mainstream Support. With Microsoft’s support of Dynamics GP 2018, you’re protected from bugs and threats, giving you greater peace of mind.
- Business Process Automation enhancements – Dynamics GP 2018 has been upgraded to include workflows to control spend management and electronic signatures with integrated organization hierarchy approvals to streamline your business processes.
- Keeps you compliant – Older versions of GP may no longer be compliant with current tax laws and accounting best practices, creating a legal liability for your organization.
- Anytime, anywhere access – Dynamics GP 2018 can be accessed from the office, on the road, at home, and anywhere in between on a PC or mobile device.
Delaying an upgrade to GP can cost you in the long run. The longer you wait, the harder it is to upgrade your ERP from its current version to the most recent, costing you more time and money. With 300+ enhancements to existing Financial / Operational / HR/Payroll / Project Accounting modules, the decision to upgrade to Dynamics GP 2018 is easy.
