Upgrading to Microsoft Dynamics 365 can transform your business by unlocking new capabilities and efficiencies. A Dynamics 365 upgrade means you stay current with technology and future-proof your business. Rand Group’s team of experts has deep Microsoft Dynamics experience to help you get the most out of an upgrade.

Why should you upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365?
Microsoft’s legacy Dynamics systems have been trusted by businesses for decades. These platforms helped thousands of companies manage finances, operations, and customer relationships. However, Microsoft has already sunset most of these products and is currently phasing out Dynamics GP with no new feature development and end-of-life on the horizon.
Dynamics 365 is the modern, cloud-based successor to these legacy solutions. It’s a unified platform with advanced functionality, built-in AI, seamless integration across Microsoft tools, and continuous updates. Upgrading to Dynamics 365 future-proofs your business by giving you access to the latest technology and long-term support, scalability, and security.
Rand Group’s upgrade services are designed to guide you through this transition with confidence. With over two decades of experience in the Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem, we’ve helped companies of all sizes move from legacy systems to Dynamics 365. From initial assessment and data migration to training and post-go-live support, our team delivers a seamless upgrade experience designed to minimize disruption and maximize business value.

Lower total cost of ownership
Upgrading to Dynamics 365 can reduce your total cost of ownership compared to legacy Dynamics systems. As a cloud-based solution, Dynamics 365 eliminates the need for on-premises servers, manual upgrades, and high maintenance costs.
- No more on-premises servers or costly maintenance: Dynamics 365’s cloud model eliminates the need for expensive server hardware. Microsoft manages the infrastructure, so you save on IT overhead like power, cooling, and physical space.
- Eliminate expensive upgrade projects: Legacy systems often require major upgrades and patches that drain IT budgets. Dynamics 365 delivers continuous, automatic updates, reducing costs, minimizing disruption, and keeping you current.
- Free up IT resources: Shifting infrastructure and upkeep to the cloud lets your IT team focus on higher-value work. With fewer server issues and compatibility problems, productivity goes up while support costs go down.
These efficiencies lead to lower TCO over time. You pay only for the users and capacity you need on a subscription basis and avoid many hidden costs of keeping legacy systems alive. The result is a modern solution that costs less to run and delivers more to your business.
