Before moving to a new ERP solution, there are a few checklists that are needed to be completed for the seamless updation process. These things include business analysis to database cleanup.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Dont_wait_and_waste_Time\"><\/span>1. Don&#8217;t wait and waste Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Though Microsoft has officially confirmed that it will support Dynamics GP till 2024, it is best to plan the migration process before the end of the support. Hence, upgrading to an ERP solution like the Dynamics 365 Business Central has several advantages that will benefit the business in the long run, and here are some of the important ones.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dynamics_GP_cannot_take_full_advantage_of_the_Cloud\"><\/span>2. Dynamics GP cannot take full advantage of the Cloud<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Though you can deploy and run Dynamics GP from the cloud, it is not a solution designed for cloud services. An ERP service like the Business Central is fully built around the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/solutions\/microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central-cloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloud ERP Solutions<\/a>. This offers advantages like improved security and protection against hacks and ransomware. They can be accessed from everywhere and almost from any device.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, it also reduces the server cost, thus reducing the overall IT expenditure. Cloud based solutions are easy to scale and can be customized with ease, depending on the requirement. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On top of that, Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP also offers easier and simpler upgrades to keep it up-to-date.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"badge-bg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/solutions\/microsoft-dynamics-365\/microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central\/\">Learn More: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central<\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_to_choose_Dynamics_365_Business_Central\"><\/span>Why to choose Dynamics 365 Business Central?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/solutions\/microsoft-dynamics-365\/microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Central<\/a> is not only the latest ERP solution but is also the most easy-to-use and advanced business management solution in the world. It has an easy-to-use drag and drop interface. This allows users to customize the product without writing a code using the Power Platform.<\/p>\n<p>Dynamics 365 Business Central also supports third-party tool integration, from both cloud and local servers. If there are any non-native apps that do not support, they can be configured to work with the Business Central using the development environment. This allows integrating custom payroll plugins like HCM, CRM, and payroll with ease.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Realme-time_manufacturing_and_distributing_capacity\"><\/span>1.
