Did you know that GP is used by over 20,000 customers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great Plains remains popular for many reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>GP meets the customer\u2019s requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Over time, the customer has integrated GP add-ons and customizations to create a highly specialized accounting system perfectly suited to its business needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The customer does not foresee benefits from migrating to a cloud-based ERP environment. In fact, the higher costs of cloud hosting become prohibitive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customers who do not regularly update to new GP versions do not want to be forced to do so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Microsoft\u2019s Commitment to Great Plains \/ GP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This past April, Microsoft made an announcement on the future of Microsoft Dynamics GP.<br><br>Their announcement states that, as of April 1, 2026 (3 years from now), there will be no new customer sales of Dynamics GP.&nbsp; As a steppingstone to this, from April 2025 there will be no new sales of GP Perpetual licenses.&nbsp; Subscription sales can still happen for the additional year.<br><br><strong><u>HOWEVER<\/u><\/strong>, this will have no implications for existing customers!&nbsp; Existing customers can continue to purchase new licenses and modules after 2026.&nbsp;&nbsp; There will still be tax and other product updates for Dynamics GP, including lots of new features already planned for the next version (18.6), due to release October 2023.&nbsp; And this will&nbsp;<strong><u>continue<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;with future versions 18.7, 18.8, etc.<br><br>Therefore, for existing Microsoft Dynamics GP customers, nothing has really changed.&nbsp; Microsoft has committed to continuing support and development of Dynamics GP to 2028 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How CSSI Can Help You with GP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CSSI is pleased to support the community of 20,000 companies using Great Plains.
