Discussion Highlights
Why did you move off GP when you did?
Although the official end of life for Dynamics GP was announced in September 2024, rumors circulated long before. Our customers realized GP had no future, citing:
- It isn’t a true cloud solution, making it hard to scale with their business.
- Connecting GP to other essential applications was difficult.
- Many processes felt overly complicated and convoluted.
- It was more than they needed—and they never used it to its full potential.
- Missing functionality made it unsustainable for their evolving needs.
“When we knew we needed to migrate from GP to something that better suited our needs, our first instinct was to explore the solutions recommended by Collins Computing after many years of successful partnership.”
— Mark Lurie, MSIA
Why did you select Acumatica?
Faced with many ERP alternatives, our panelists chose Acumatica because it proved more user-friendly and easier for their teams to adopt and maintain.
- Highly adaptable and customizable to specific business workflows.
- Cost-efficient: you pay only for the resources you use, with unlimited user licenses.
- Real-time reporting is a game-changer compared to GP’s clunky tools.
“The reporting in Acumatica is much more robust. With GP, you had their report writer—which was hit or miss. Acumatica offers real-time reporting and an easier way to export data.”
— Christina “Ghobi” Ghobrial, Controller, Outdoor Dimensions
