Dynamics GP Cloud-Is it Right for my Company?

Posted by Nate Marks on November 8th, 2017

For sometime now, your small manufacturing business has provided clients with customized products. Now, the frequency of  changes you have to make on the factory floor  to accommodate your customers is creating many bottlenecks, from errors in specifications to delays in billing.

Other business associates tout the use of an ERP software, like Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016.

To manage the transactional and financial side of the operation. In addition,  many believe in using an on-premise only deployment of Dynamics GP to keep control of their proprietary data while providing what many believe is a more secure environment; too, by keeping Dynamics GP on the company servers, the upgrade process can be handled by your IT staff.

Unfortunately, your server capacity is almost ‘maxed out,’ and your IT staff is not keeping abreast of much needed software upgrades and patches.

That’s why you are looking at moving up to Dynamics GP on the Microsoft Azure cloud, you don’t have to worry about those IT issues. On the Dynamics GP cloud you will be provided, with guaranteed 99.9% uptime, disaster recovery, backups, and upgrades are seamless.
