DYNAMICS GP END OF LIFE IS COMING
Microsoft has announced the end of mainstream support for Dynamics GP. Organizations still running GP face increasing challenges:
- Declining Ecosystem: Fewer consultants, developers, and resources available
- Security Risks: Security updates becoming less frequent
- Missing Features: GP isn't getting new capabilities
- Integration Limitations: GP's architecture makes connecting to new tools difficult
- Talent Challenges: New accounting professionals aren't learning Dynamics GP
Many credit unions are still running Dynamics GP. If you're one of them, now is the time to plan your transition.

THE COST OF WAITING
Organizations that wait until 2027 or later to migrate from legacy systems like Dynamics GP will face:
- Resource Competition: Hundreds of organizations scrambling to migrate at the same time.
- Rushed Timelines: While a typical implementation takes 6–12 months, our specialized process for credit unions can be completed in just 2.5–3 months. However, the evaluation and budgeting phase often takes a year or more. By the time you start the project, significant time has already passed.
- Premium Pricing: Migration costs will increase as the deadline approaches.
- Business Disruption: Inadequate training, insufficient testing, and poor planning.
Starting now means your choice of timeline and resources, adequate time for proper planning, and competitive pricing. The BPW team brings decades of financial expertise to every Acumatica implementation we deliver.

| Architecture | On-premise/third-party hosted | Cloud or Private Cloud (flexible) |
| User Licensing | Per-user fees | Unlimited users |
| Updates | Manual upgrades | Streamlined upgrade process |
| Mobile Access | Limited add-ons | Built-in, full-featured |
| Integration | Complex, costly | Open API, flexible |
| Innovation | Declining | Two major releases/year |
