Extending the life of GP

  • Extending the life of GP

    Hi everyone, I’ve been wondering how others are approaching the challenge of extending the life of their GP ERP systems, since end of life was announced. With technology changing fast, how are you managing to keep these systems up to date and running smoothly without a full system overhaul? Any tips or strategies you’ve found useful?

    Trevor,

    Here’s the approach I have taken: Stay the course!

    GP remains a mission-critical application for us. And it’s very inexpensive and easy to maintain (as long as you don’t let Microsoft’s announcements erode the attitudes and actions critical to the effectiveness of the application).

    As soon as you and your organization start to neglect it, it will deteriorate and quickly become a burden to maintain.

    Let GP continue to be your trusted and stable ERP. Go ahead and deploy all the hot new technologies ‘around’ GP. There remain a lot of options for integrating with and enhancing GP (while you’re preparing for replacing it). Of course, you’ll want to watch your ROI on any investments as the window of return is shrinking.

    I hope this helps.

    Chris
