For years, Microsoft Dynamics GP has served as a trusted ERP solution for many small and medium-sized businesses. But as the pace of innovation accelerates and digital transformation becomes a must—not a maybe—companies are reassessing their current technology. And there's one key reason: staying relevant and competitive in today’s fast-moving world requires agility, cloud capabilities, and AI-enhanced productivity. 

At Integrato, we’ve been supporting Dynamics GP users for years. Now, we’re helping them transition smoothly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central—a future-ready, cloud-based platform that brings all your core business functions together with powerful AI at the center. 

What’s Changing with Dynamics GP?

Microsoft has officially announced end of product support in September 2029 

This means no new features, enhancements, or bug fixes will be delivered moving forward. As GP enters this phase-out timeline, it’s time to consider what comes next—and more importantly, how your business will continue to grow and adapt. 

Why Move to Dynamics 365 Business Central? 

Dynamics 365 Business Central is the natural evolution of Dynamics GP—built on a modern architecture, hosted in the cloud, and enhanced with AI-powered tools to help your business do more with less. 

What is Business Central?

Business Central is a cloud-based business management solution designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). It integrates core functions like: 

  • Finance 
  • Sales 
  • Service 
  • Supply Chain 
  • Operations 

All on a single, user-friendly platform. It also connects seamlessly with Microsoft 365, Power BI, and Microsoft Copilot to deliver intelligent insights and drive smarter decision-making. 

Dynamics GP vs. Business Central — What You Should Know 

Making the move to the cloud may seem like a big step, especially if you’ve been using Dynamics GP for years. But here’s a clear comparison to show what you’re gaining: 

Dynamics GPBusiness Central
Dynamics GP is an older, on-premises product with limited cloud capabilities and no major innovation ahead. Business Central is a cloud-first platform continuously updated by Microsoft. It delivers new features regularly, improves performance, and enhances user experience with every release. 
Maintaining on-premises servers, annual upgrades, and managing data security comes with high costs. Instead of investing in expensive hardware and yearly maintenance, move to a fully managed cloud platform. Business Central reduces infrastructure costs and frees up your team from manual system maintenance. 
On-premises systems restrict remote access, limit collaboration, and aren’t built for hybrid work. Business Central is built for mobility and collaboration. Work from anywhere, on any device. Collaborate in real-time across departments, with seamless integration into Microsoft 365 and Teams.

Ready for the Future: AI-Powered Experiences with Business Central 

With Copilot now built into Business Central, businesses can automate routine tasks, generate insights, streamline reporting, and create smarter workflows. Whether it’s forecasting cash flow or drafting email responses based on transaction history, AI brings real-time intelligence right to your fingertips. 

We’re seeing Business Central take the lead across industries—especially among SMBs looking to modernize their operations and stay ahead.
