The Real Cost of Staying on Dynamics GP

Dynamics GP was designed for an older, outdated ERP solution, and Microsoft has significantly reduced investments into the platform over time. Every day you remain on Dynamics GP increases your risks related to compliance, data integrity, and marketplace agility.

Risks of Staying on Dynamics GP

  • No new tax, regulatory, or compliance updates prior to December 2029.

  • No more security patches after April 2031 for current vulnerabilities.

  • No access to modern AI, automation, or real-time analytic capabilities.

  • Severe architecture gap between legacy code structures and modern cloud ERP frameworks.

  • Forced year-end migrations driven by urgent compliance updates and payroll demands.

  • Escalating maintenance fees to support custom legacy setups that can no longer scale.

What You Gain on SAP S/4HANA

  • Real-time financial visibility across entities, currencies, and subsidiaries globally.

  • Continuous, SAP-managed tax and regulatory alignment in every operational jurisdiction.

  • Native embedded AI engines, predictive analytical forecasting, and intuitive SAP Fiori UX.

  • Highly scalable backend configurations to drive dynamic multi-entity and multi-country models.

  • Seamless cloud ecosystem connection via deep native SAP Business Technology Platform integration.

  • A carefully executed transformation strategy aligned entirely with your timeline choice.

Migration Paths

Choose the Right Path for Your Business

While not every Dynamics GP customer will have the same goals from this process, we will work with you to evaluate your entity structure, transaction volumes, current customizations, and future growth plans to establish realistic expectations for an outcome.

01

Dynamics GP to SAP S/4HANA Cloud (RISE)

RISE with SAP is an all-in-one solution for businesses transitioning from GP to cloud-based ERP. It combines support and infrastructure with transformation to give companies leaving GP the most complex finance, supply chain, and reporting needs in a single subscription.

02

Dynamics GP to SAP S/4HANA On-Premises

For companies that operate in regulated industries or have data residency requirements and need full control over their SAP environment. We provide complete oversight of your on-premises migration from GP Data Extraction to SAP S/4HANA Go-Live with your company's infrastructure team.

03

Phased / Module-Based Migration

If you are not ready to migrate everything at once, we provide a phased migration beginning with core financials (GL, AP/AR, fixed assets) and continuing incrementally. This strategy significantly reduces disruption and allows your enterprise team to adapt to SAP smoothly without a risky "Big Bang" cutover.

Data Architecture

What Do We Migrate from Dynamics GP to SAP S/4HANA?

Dynamics GP and SAP S/4HANA use different data models entirely. Dynamics GP uses a segmented account structure, while SAP uses a single GL account plus dimensions. Pushing GP tables into SAP directly without changing will break the referential integrity between those elements. We know how to do that correctly every time.

Our Methodology

A Structured Migration, Not a Lift-and-Shift

All migrations from Dynamics GP to SAP S/4HANA we deliver follow a proven 6-phase model based on the SAP Activate methodology. Each phase features defined deliverables, checkpoints, and formal sign-offs before the next phase begins.

1
Phase 01 — Strategy

Assessment & Planning

Our team completes a thorough assessment of your current Dynamics GP environment, including databases, custom extensions, software integrations, and data hygiene. Following evaluation, we establish explicit project scope boundaries, flag vulnerabilities, and construct a comprehensive transition blueprint for SAP S/4HANA.

2
Phase 02 — Preparation

Data Mapping & Cleansing

We map your existing GP parameters directly to native SAP S/4HANA environments and cleanse operational records before moving forward. Each data field undergoes deep inspection for duplicates, omissions, or anomalies, ensuring that only high-integrity records load into your new system.

3
Phase 03 — Engineering

Extraction & Transformation

Our migration specialists execute secure data extractions directly from Dynamics GP. We then convert the extracted data structures into SAP-compliant formats within isolated staging environments, maintaining strict referential integrity throughout the transfer.

4
Phase 04 — Execution

Data Loading & Test Migrations

We load information into SAP utilizing the SAP Migration Cockpit alongside SAP BusinessObjects Data Services. Our team runs iterative mock migrations and multi-layered ledger reconciliation routines prior to production, ensuring financial and operational balances match exactly.

5
Phase 05 — Quality Assurance

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) & Validation

Your key business team members validate all migrated modules through comprehensive UAT playbooks. We check finance settings, procurement flows, inventory operations, and custom reporting outputs thoroughly to gain final internal approval before launch.

6
Phase 06 — Operational Success

Go-Live & AMS Support

We coordinate your live switchover, execute final ledger balances verification, and deploy your live SAP S/4HANA platform. Following launch, our Application Managed Services (AMS) team provides continuous system optimization and engineering support to ensure long-term performance.

Tools & Technology

The Technology Behind Our Migrations

We leverage SAP certified tools with purpose-built extractors and a proven data engineering stack to deliver accurate, auditable, and on-time migrations.

SAP Native

SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit

The standard SAP tool designed for managed, structured data loads. It features a built-in simulation mode that lets you validate mappings and run test routines before writing any production records, completely eliminating the risk of data loss.

SAP Native

SAP Data Services / BODS

An enterprise-grade ETL framework engineered to handle high-volume data cleansing and complex structural transformations. This engine processes multi-year historical G/L balances, transactional sub-ledgers, and intricate inventory mappings.

Custom Built

GP-Specific Data Extractors

Custom-built connectors optimized for the specific SQL backend layout of Microsoft Dynamics GP. These tools read segmented account codes and custom source tables directly, catching potential mapping gaps before they impact the target environment.

SAP Native

SAP BTP Integration Suite

The central framework for migrating legacy third-party connections. It bridges peripheral solutions like payroll networks, CRM tools, and EDI mappings into the SAP integration layer, ensuring continuous data flows across systems at go-live.

Quality

Data Quality & Validation Tools

Automated tools that parse, validate, and deduplicate your data before staging execution. By cleaning source discrepancies early, you ensure the production ERP landscape remains stable and unpolluted throughout test cycles.

Architecture

Staging Layer (SQL / OData)

An isolated database environment that acts as an engineering sandbox. Data transformations, complex joins, and reconciliation audits are processed entirely within this staging zone, keeping the performance of your live systems completely unaffected.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

When will Microsoft remove support for Dynamics GP?

Mainstream support for Dynamics GP ends on December 31, 2029. Security updates, however, will remain available until April 30, 2031.

How long does it take to migrate from Dynamics GP to SAP?

Approximately nine months, depending on the amount of data and how many business entities are involved in the project. We develop explicit milestone dates as part of the initial evaluation process.

Should I select SAP Business One or SAP S/4HANA?

It depends on your company structure, volume of transactions, and targeted growth plans. You can utilize our free comprehensive assessment process to help you evaluate both landscapes effectively.

What do I need from my team to complete a successful migration?

To successfully complete a migration, your team will need to provide active access to key power users for data validation, assigned process owners to lock in requirements, and core IT infrastructure resources for testing cycles.

Will I lose past financial records when migrating from Dynamics GP?

No, you will not lose any past financial records. We execute custom migration routines or structured archiving workflows for your legacy ledger logs based on your compliance, audit, and reporting parameters. Nothing critical is left behind.
