Dynamics GP to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

It’s not time to say goodbye to GP just yet. But if you need a transition plan, Mount Evans Consulting (MEC) is the trail guide you need to help you migrate and modernize without missing a beat — or a single incoming order.

In 2029, mainstream support for Dynamics GP will end. If you missed Microsoft’s announcement, here’s a recap of what you need to know, what dates to remember, and what it means for long-time GP users.

What’ll Be New? The Upgrades You Can Expect from Business Central

If you’re unfamiliar with Business Central, you’ll be glad to know that it’ll feel familiar, but better:

• Say goodbye to outdated infrastructure and hello to automatic updates, remote access, and scalability.
• Access real-time insights with out-of-the-box reports, custom dashboards, and seamless integration with Power BI — so you can make smarter decisions faster. 
• Simplify your chart of accounts, approvals, workflows, and user experience with a system built for the modern user.
• Give up worrying about SQL backups, server upgrades, or local installs, and let Microsoft handle it instead.

What Does a Transition Plan Look Like — And Why Choose MEC?

At Mount Evans Consulting, we take a practical approach to GP-BC migrations: one that’s been battle-tested in the field, time and time again. We’re a team of former GP and BC users-turned-consultants and now use our hands-on experience to tailor our plans to your business needs. 

Think of us as your support team to help avoid common migration issues, and to not just transition to Business Central — but to use it to improve how you’re doing business. We’ve been there, done that, and packed the necessary gear to get you to the peaks of cloud-based ERP success: quickly, efficiently, and safely. 

Here’s how a migration with MEC works, step by step.

• Step 1. Discovery & Assessment: We review your current GP setup, evaluate historical data needs, and map out a strategy for you.
• Step 2. Configuration & Cleanup:  We’ll implement a clean, efficient, and customized setup in Business Central — aligning with your current needs and your future goals. 
• Step 3. Data Migration: We migrate only what you need: like your chart of accounts, vendors, customers, open transactions, and beginning balances. (We can also help transition common GP modules, including Financial Management, Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing, Project Management, and Business Intelligence & Reporting.)
• Step 4. Training & Go-Live Support: From user training to go-live assistance, we’re with you every step of the way, so you’re never flying blind or left to navigate a complicated roadmap without a trusted guide.
