Benefits for Dynamics GP in the cloud
Are you running your business on Microsoft Dynamics GP? If so, have you considered the benefits of moving to the cloud? The latest version of Dynamics GP was engineered especially for the cloud. We help you move Dynamics GP to the cloud with the right plan.
Dynamics GP monthly subscription plan
Dynamics GP in the cloud allows you to move to a monthly subscription plan. You can save a significant amount of money over the old on-premise software licensing model. In the past, Dynamics GP customers you would purchase a per-user license and then pay a yearly enhancement fee. You were responsible for paying the additional cost of upgrading and testing. In the new cloud Dynamics GP model, a hosting provider maintains all the software, so your in-house IT Staff can be free of the burden of updates and upgrades. The upgrades are maintained in the cloud at no extra expense to your IT budget.
Should you move to Dynamics GP in the cloud?
One common concern expressed by Dynamics GP customers is how making the move to the cloud might impact workflow. It’s important to make sure the process is well planned and managed. Make sure you partner with a Gold Certified Partner, such as Accountnet, for Microsoft Dynamics GP to help you every step of the way.
