Navigating the End of Microsoft GP: Your Guide to a Seamless Transition to NetSuite

Making a Seamless Transition from Dynamics GP to NetSuite

For the roughly 20,000 Microsoft Dynamics GP customers who just got notice that their core ERP was being sunsetted, we understand your pain. But once the shock of the announcement has worn off, you’ll see that you have less than 48 months to make a major IT leap before your current system basically expires.

With GSI in your corner, you can make a seamless transition to NetSuite and start leveraging its powerful, cloud-based functionalities; twice-yearly automated software updates; integrated finance, HR, CRM, WMS and inventory management modules (among others); and high level of scalability.

The transition to NetSuite doesn’t have to be complicated or strenuous. GSI will help you:

• Assess your company’s needs: Identify your pain points, outline your goals, evaluate NetSuite’s fit and develop a detailed project plan.
  
  
• Migrate your data: We know this is what everyone is worried about with ERP implementations, and GSI has you covered. We’ll cleanse and validate your data to ensure accuracy and consistency; map data fields from Dynamics GP to NetSuite; and then transfer data to your new system.
  
  
• System configuration: Many organizations use NetSuite right out of the box, but if your company needs
  configurations to match your specific business processes and workflows, GSI can handle these for you with ease.
  
  
• User training: This is a critical step and one that’s often overlooked as companies focus their efforts on the IT, software and implementation steps. GSI will provide comprehensive training for team members on how to use NetSuite effectively, and also offer user manuals and training materials to support ongoing learning and adoption.
  
  
• Go-live and post-implementation support: The final steps include the official move from Dynamics GP to NetSuite—all with minimized disruptions (if any at all) to business operations. GSI will also monitor system performance and user adoption, and adjust as needed. Our managed services offer ongoing IT support, including application management, server administration, network management and security services.

The Dynamics GP sunsetting is going to happen whether you like it or not, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit around and wait for the clock to run out. Taking the time to go through these steps now will help you avoid last minute system challenges, fire drills and business interruptions.
