For all those businesses operating on Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly known as Great Plains), if you find yourself shuddering, not wanting to utter the dreaded “M” word (maintenance), we feel your pain, and we understand. You’re tired of the huge investment in a system that runs on old technology. And what about the cloud? Accessing your information when and where you need it?
To compound your frustration, when you think of the known alternatives, like Dynamics 365 Operations (formerly known as Dynamics AX or Axapta), the only words that come to mind are hard to use, expensive, and high implementation costs. I always refer to it as the “Beast”. Don’t get me wrong. It does well for companies that require multi-national manufacturing capabilities. You can also stay on your Dynamics GP system and put up with all the inefficiencies of old technology. Or you can move forward to the “Beast” or another expensive enterprise application. But really, you do have a viable option. I highly recommend you take a look at Gravity Software® (Gravity). With Gravity, you can stay in the Microsoft family and use the most current technology.
And if you're looking at Dynamics 365 BC (aka Business Central), you should really read this article before making the move. Why not do your Due Diligence?
