GP HEALTH CHECK

Start with a clear picture of where your GP stands.

The Health Check is the first step in any Enavate engagement. It gives you a clear, unbiased picture of your current GP environment and a roadmap for what comes next, whether that's optimization, Azure hosting, or migration to Business Central.

  • Discovery session

    An in-depth conversation about your current GP usageand business goals. We learn how your teams actually use the system day to day.

  • System assessment

    We run a comprehensive Health Check tool against your environment to evaluate performance, security posture, version currency, integrations, customizations, and optimization potential.

  • Customized roadmap

    A detailed report with findings, risk areas, actionable recommendations, and a recommended path forward based on your specific situation. No generic playbook.

WHILE YOU ARE STILL ON GP

Get more from the system you already run.

Most GP environments are underutilized. Features go unused, processes stay manual, and
reporting stays limited because nobody has the time or the expertise to configure what's
already available. Enavate's GP consultants work with you to close those gaps.

Upgrades
UPGRADES

Running an older version of GP? Upgrades keep you current on security patches, tax table updates, and feature releases. Critical for companies running GP payroll, where tax updates end with the 2029 deadline.

We demand a lot from our business partners, but at the end of the day, we are very fair. We like our long-term partners, and we work with them during the bumps to get where we are today. I’m pleased that Enavate and Bestway Rentals have achieved this kind of solid relationship.
OUR APPROACH

Ready for what’s next?

We view Business Central as the destination. 
The path depends on 
your business.

Other partners hedge. They offer three or four options and leave you to decide. We take a position: Business Central is the right long-term answer for GP users. The timeline and approach depend on your complexity, your budget, and your risk tolerance.

  • GP is a product we respect.

    We understand why you rely on it. But the ecosystem is contracting. ISVs are raising maintenance costs or dropping GP support entirely. Qualified consultants are retiring or moving to BC. The 2029 deadline is the hard stop, but the practical risks start well before that.

  • The question is when and how.

    Waiting compresses your timeline, limits your options, and increases your cost. Starting the conversation now gives you the most flexibility and the least disruption.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what GP users ask most about the 2029
deadline, migration costs, and what to expect.

What does this mean for me?

After December 31, 2029, you will no longer receive product enhancements, regulatory updates, and hotfix support. After April 30, 2031, you will no longer receive security updates.

The first thing this means is that you have time to decide on what’s next for your business. In the meantime, you will continue to receive support and critical updates from Microsoft. 

Beyond the sunset date, Enavate is here to support you on your journey and can help you optimize your current Dynamics GP experience. We can also help you plan for and assist with migrating to the cloud with Dynamics 365 Business Central or other platforms when the timing is right for you. 

Is Dynamics GP about to be turned off?

Fortunately, the answer here is no. While Microsoft will no longer sell new licenses for Dynamics GP after April 2025, existing users will continue to receive support, including tax updates, and hotfixes, until September 30, 2029 and security updates until April 30, 2031.

During this period, you may continue to use your Dynamics GP system as usual, and Enavate is here to be your partner in ensuring that your current systems and processes function at peak performance levels to support your growth and efficiency.

When the time comes, our team will assist you in understanding your options and preparing for a smooth transition to a cloud solution. We will provide comprehensive support, including data migration, systems integration, and user training, to ensure that your business operations remain uninterrupted.

We recommend starting with an Enavate Roadmap Consultation with one of our Senior GP Consultants to get a free evaluation of your system and create a strategy for current and future needs. Get started here.

How will Enavate help me?

Enavate is a world leader in Dynamics GP services and support. Our dedicated team and world-class consultants, who come directly from Microsoft, will be ready to answer any and all your questions regarding Dynamics GP optimization, cloud migrations, and access to data.

We provide comprehensive services to ensure a smooth transition to Business Central, Azure, and more, including system optimization and ongoing support.

We can also help you set the strategy that best suits your business needs.

What happens to all of my data?

If you have an on-premise solution, your data will remain in place.

If your GP instance is hosted in the Azure cloud, your data will remain securely stored in the cloud and can be accessed as long as your Dynamics GP instance remains active. 

Enavate has developed a Health Check Tool that is trusted by clients and Microsoft partners worldwide. This tool, when combined with the Microsoft Migration Tool, securely transitions GP data to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

For further specifics on your data, we suggest booking a time with one of our Senior GP Consultants for a free evaluation to create a strategy for current and future needs. Start your Roadmap Consultation here.

Do I have to buy a new ERP system?

In the short term, your Dynamics GP instance will not change (whether it is deployed on-premise or in the Cloud).

Once Microsoft support ends in late 2029, your GP solution will be at risk. Therefore, you should take advantage of the time you have before your ERP is no longer supported to consider your options. Enavate can help you understand those options and how to take advantage of a new, modern approach to ERP.

To help you get started, we are offering a free consultation with one of our Senior GP Consultants. Start your Roadmap Consultation here.

If I migrate to another Microsoft ERP solution, like Dynamic 365 Business Central, what happens to my integrations?

In some cases, the core Business Central functionality may eliminate the need for certain third-party solutions that are currently integrated into your GP system.

Enavate will work with you to identify all existing integrations, determine which are needed moving forward, and develop a stress-free path to ensuring that you have all of the features, functionality, and systems in place and seamlessly integrated into your new solution.

You can start by identifying your integrations and other system elements in a complimentary GP Health Check..

Do I have to stop using Dynamics GP by the official end of life date?

No, you do not have to stop using Dynamics GP immediately after September 30, 2029.

However, running on an unsupported platform comes with risks. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you use the time before GP’s End of Life arrives to plan your migration to a supported platform, ensuring continued security and functionality.

Start with a Roadmap Consultation here..

How long will I be able to get support?

At this moment in time, Microsoft has decided that mainstream support is ending in 2029 and extended support is wrapping up by 2031.

After September 30, 2029, you will no longer receive product enhancements, regulatory updates, and hotfix support. After April 30, 2031, you will no longer receive security updates.

Enavate will offer additional support options to ensure you have the help you need during and after the transition.

Will I still be able to add Dynamics GP licenses?

If you already have Dynamics GP licenses, you are able to purchase additional user licenses after new sales end in April 2025 for perpetual licenses and April 2026 for subscription licenses. However, it is highly recommended to plan your migration to a supported platform to ensure continued security and functionality beyond GP’s End of Life.
