The technology landscape is evolving faster than ever. Organizations relying on legacy systems like Dynamics GP and SL are starting to feel the pressure of outdated technology. While these platforms once supported business success, their limitations now hinder growth, scalability, and innovation.
In this post, we’ll explore why Dynamics GP and SL migration is essential—and how moving to Dynamics 365 Business Central with support from KTL Solutions unlocks real value, intelligence, and integration for your business.
The Drawbacks of Staying on Dynamics GP and SL
Continuing to depend on Dynamics GP and SL introduces several major challenges for modern organizations.
Lack of Modern Integration
These systems were built for a different era. Connecting them with cloud applications, Power BI, or other business tools often requires complex workarounds and expensive third-party add-ons. This fragmented approach slows collaboration and limits agility.
Limited Scalability and Customization
As your organization grows, scaling GP or SL becomes difficult. Enhancements require major investments, and supporting remote or hybrid work environments is rarely seamless.
Higher Total Cost of Ownership
Maintaining on-premises servers, handling upgrades, and managing security vulnerabilities increase both cost and risk. Unlike cloud-based platforms, GP and SL lack rapid innovation cycles that continuously deliver new features.
Missed Opportunities for Intelligence
Without built-in AI or analytics, these systems limit your ability to extract insights, automate processes, or respond quickly to business changes.
