Microsoft Dynamics GP customers, please take this quick, anonymous Current State of Dynamics GP survey now.

For the last 25 years or so, questions have been asked about the future of Microsoft Dynamics GP. I partially based my decision to leave Winthrop Dexterity Consultants in 2000 to become a Microsoft employee because of the “imminent demise” of Dynamics GP.

Fourteen years later, when I left Microsoft and started Winthrop Development Consultants, Microsoft Dynamics GP was still well and truly alive and going strong.

#MySummitNA Clarification of Microsoft Dynamics GP Lifecycle

Mike Morton (Vice President, Dynamics 365 Business Central at Microsoft) has clarified the Microsoft Dynamics GP Lifecycle after his comments at the GP General Session during the Community Summit 2022 conference.

Dynamics GP’s lifecycle is still 2028 and beyond and does include new features as well as tax, compliance and security updates. Since GP is a mature and stable product, don’t expect large new features or new modules. The large ISV community will continue to develop additional functionality to make GP a viable system for many years to come.
