If you're currently using Microsoft Dynamics GP, you're likely aware that the platform is entering a maintenance phase, with enhancements ending in 2029 and support winding down by 2031. As a result, many organisations are beginning to explore modern ERP alternatives like Acumatica.

Before making the move to a new ERP system, here are the top five questions Dynamics GP users should be asking—along with the answers to help guide your decision.

1. What Will Happen to My Historical Data?
This is one of the biggest concerns for GP users. Years of financial, operational, and audit data are stored in GP, and preserving that history is critical.

• Answer: With the right migration tools and planning, your historical data—including transactional detail and audit trails—can be securely and accurately migrated to Acumatica. Validation processes ensure nothing is lost in translation.

2. How Does the New System Compare in Terms of Reporting and Analytics?
GP users often rely on SmartLists, Management Reporter, and Excel. But these tools can be limiting.

• Answer: Acumatica offers real-time dashboards, embedded analytics, and native Power BI integration. You can build reports without IT support and drill into data with ease—giving you better visibility and faster decision-making.

3. What Are the Integration Capabilities of the New ERP?
GP often requires third-party tools or custom development to connect with other systems.

• Answer: Acumatica is built with open REST APIs and OData support, making it easy to integrate with CRM, eCommerce, payroll, and other platforms. These integrations are upgrade-safe and can be configured with low-code tools.

4. What Does the Migration Process Look Like?
Migration can feel risky, especially for mission-critical systems.

• Answer: Acumatica and ISC Software offer structured migration processes that include data mapping, sandbox testing, and historical data import. You can even run GP and Acumatica side-by-side during the transition to reduce disruption.

5. What Are the Long-Term Costs and Licensing Differences?
GP uses a perpetual licensing model, while cloud ERPs typically use subscription pricing.

• Answer: Acumatica’s pricing is based on resource usage—not per-user licensing. This means you can scale affordably, with hosting, updates, and support included. No hidden costs, and predictable budgeting.
