Optimize Dynamics GP and increase your ROI
Microsoft has officially announced the end-of-life plans for Dynamics GP, with support ending by April 30, 2031, and the final year-end update scheduled for December 2028. While this means Dynamics GP will no longer see new features or innovations, some businesses remain committed to staying on GP for as long as possible. For those businesses, Rand Group offers services to help optimize your Dynamics GP implementation and maximize your return on investment during its remaining lifecycle.
Ensure Dynamics GP works for you with system optimization
Dynamics GP has been a reliable accounting and ERP solution for decades, but its future is now defined. To ensure your organization continues to operate efficiently on Dynamics GP, Rand Group can help optimize your existing implementation. By fully leveraging its current capabilities, you can improve performance, reduce errors, increase data accuracy, and enhance your overall user experience—while understanding the limitations of relying on an aging platform. Optimizing Dynamics GP includes reviewing business processes, cleaning up data, and utilizing its built-in tools and reporting features. These steps can help you maintain efficiency, reduce costs, and sustain operations for as long as you choose to remain on GP.
Rand Group is your partner to evaluate Dynamics GP and identify areas for optimization to boost your return on investment. Our team of industry experts and solution engineers have a deep understanding of the solution’s capabilities and can help you identify areas where you can improve efficiency and streamline operations. Additionally, we will ensure you are taking full advantage of your system and provide training and support to ensure your users are correctly utilizing the software.
Review your business processes
Rand Group will take a critical look at your existing business processes and identify areas where Dynamics GP can be used more effectively. We will help identify processes that can be automated or streamlined to optimize your business processes to save time and reduce errors.
Get the most value out of your data
Data is one of an organization’s most valuable resources; however, most companies are not maximizing the value of the data in their Dynamics GP database. Rand Group will help you optimize your data and reporting to gain a better understanding of your business performance to make more informed decisions.
Evaluate your technology stack
By evaluating your integrations, you can identify areas for improvement and optimize your overall system performance. Our team will help evaluate your existing technology stack and any integrations to your Dynamics GP system to identify if there are opportunities to improve performance, efficiency, and data flow.
Streamline approval processes with Dynamics GP Workflow Automation
Dynamics GP Workflow Automation is a powerful tool, when utilized properly, that enables businesses to automate approval processes for documents, records, and batches. With Workflow, you can configure each approval process to meet the unique needs of your organization to ensure consistency and compliance with policies and legal requirements. Users can define the workflow steps, specify the completion policy, and set dollar amount thresholds for approval. Additionally, email integration allows approvals to be completed directly from an email without logging into GP.
Workflows can be created for financial, sales, purchasing, payroll, project, and administration modules.
