› Microsoft Dynamics GP has the same road map as other products
› Microsoft traditional sales message can be confusing, as they are not considering specific requirements for ERP solutions
› Microsoft leadership (2/2019) – GP migrations to Dynamics 365 are not an imperative & potentially premature depending on functionality needed
Microsoft’s Dynamics GP MessageWhat does this mean?
› Consider your status today
› Consider the functionality you need
› Consider the path that makes sense for you

Considerations on the Path› Cost/benefit
• Subscription (services, software)• Cloud benefits
› Migration/implementation path• Data retention• Complexity
› Functionality• Available & road map
› Integration with eoStar
› Multitenant• Shared server with other clients• Shared (usually lower) cost• Includes some managed
services (required)• Unified upgrade schedule• Only Dynamics GP & integrated
products
› Private• Private dedicated server• Cost may be higher, depending on
user count• Upgrades scheduled on your own
time• Can exclude managed services
(can manage yourself)• Can add other products/software
Multitenant vs. Private Cloud

› Retain all existing functionality & capabilities• Including existing eoStar interfaces
› Flat fee migration to cloud• Can be completed in a day• Can leverage existing Office 365 licenses if you have them
› Can retain on-premise license for GP or move to subscription license• We can advise on break-even for this decision
› Not truly Software as a Service, but does include maintenance & administration of server
• Can add on managed services for GP support &/or GP upgrades
