Move Your Dynamics GP System to a Modern, Cloud-Based ERP — Before the 2029 Deadline


If your business is still running Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains), the clock is ticking. Microsoft has confirmed that Dynamics GP will reach end of life on 31 December 2029, after which there will be no further support, security patches or regulatory updates.

GP has served many UK businesses reliably for years. But the platform is no longer evolving. Businesses still on GP face growing pressure: rising maintenance costs, ageing infrastructure, no AI or Copilot capabilities, and an ever-narrowing window to migrate on your own terms.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the recommended replacement for Dynamics GP. It's a cloud-native ERP built for the Microsoft 365 era, with built-in AI, real-time Power BI reporting, automatic monthly updates, and no on-premise servers to manage.

Advantage Business Systems is a certified UK Microsoft Solutions Partner specialising in Dynamics GP-to-Business Central migrations. We handle your data, your customisations and your people, so your business moves forward confidently, with minimal disruption.

The Results You Can Expect
A Structured Exit from GP End of Life

Move before the 2029 deadline on your terms. We plan your Dynamics GP migration with clear milestones, low risk and a controlled timeline, a strategic choice, not a crisis.

Your GP Data Migrated, Nothing Left Behind

We migrate your chart of accounts, open transactions, customer and vendor records, and agreed financial history from Dynamics GP to Business Central, clean and fully tested.

Replace GP Customisations With Modern BC Functionality

Many GP customisations become unnecessary in Business Central. We review your setup and rebuild what matters using native BC features, Power Platform and approved extensions

Real-Time Reporting, No More FRx Workarounds

Business Central replaces GP's manual reporting with live Power BI dashboards, AI-assisted forecasting and Copilot insights, no more spreadsheet exports or SSRS workarounds.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership From Day One

Eliminate server costs, manual upgrade projects and expensive GP customisations. Business Central starts from £6 per user per month and updates automatically, no upgrade bills.

A Platform Built to Grow With Your Business

Business Central supports more users, companies, currencies and reporting complexity as your business grows, no infrastructure investment or disruptive upgrade cycles required.

How We Deliver These Outcomes


GP Readiness Assessment

We review your GP version, modules, data, customisations and integrations, giving you a clear migration roadmap and realistic project scope before any commitment is made.

Migration Planning & Project Design

We build a structured GP-to-BC migration plan covering data mapping, configuration, integrations, testing and go-live, designed to minimise risk and disruption to your business.

Business Central Configuration

We configure Business Central to match your finance and operations workflows, replacing GP processes with modern BC equivalents and removing legacy customisations where possible.

Data Migration and Testing

We extract, map and migrate your agreed GP data into Business Central, then test thoroughly before go-live, checking balances, open transactions and reporting accuracy.

Training, Go-Live and Ongoing Support

We train your team to use Business Central confidently from day one. After go-live, Advantage remains your long-term BC support partner for optimisation and continuous improvement.

A UK GP Migration Partner You Can Rely On

Advantage Business Systems is a certified UK Microsoft Solutions Partner with over 20 years of experience supporting Dynamics GP customers. We know GP inside-out, the modules, the customisations, the workarounds, and we know exactly what it takes to move you off it cleanly.

We combine deep GP migration expertise with practical business understanding, so your project isn't just about moving data. It's about building a better, future-ready system for the long term.
