What does this mean for Dynamics GP?
• With all this Microsoft marketing on the new Dynamics 365, many have started to raise the question: Is Dynamics GP going away?
• The answer is NO - The future of Dynamics GP is strong!
• Fundamentals:• One of the largest ERP customer bases (48,000+)
• The strongest ERP partner network out there –core resellers to VARs
• Loyal customers – Netsuite tried (and failed) to switch over GP customers
• Dynamics GP offers the best of both worlds because it can be deployed in the cloud anyway
