If you have a customer that is several versions behind on a Microsoft Dynamics GP accounting system and they have concerns about the cost of bringing their system up to date, they have good reason.
The Microsoft Dynamics maintenance plan requires an annual maintenance fee (16%-25% of the cost of the system), and when customers lapse on these annual payments they may have to pay up to three years in back fees before they can add new users, modules and updates. Yikes, that can hurt.
But it doesn’t hurt as much as missing out on a whole world of exciting new GP 2015 features as well as enhanced cloud capabilities and mobility. The good news is bringing legacy Dynamics GP customers up to date might not be as difficult or as costly as they fear.
With Microsoft Dynamics GP Cloud Services, you can expand your cloud practice and at the same time help your customer move to the latest version of Dynamics in the cloud and eliminate your fees. You can learn more about eliminating lapsed maintenance fees here.
