Fin de la Vida Útil de Microsoft Great Plains en 2025 – Todo lo Que Necesita Saber

En muchos sentidos, un sistema ERP actúa como una entidad viva dentro de una organización. Estos sistemas requieren un cierto nivel de atención para funcionar con éxito, incluso después de que se complete la implementación. Si bien muchos consideran que el software ERP es una inversión que vale la pena, de ninguna manera es una solución inmortal. En algún momento, los sistemas obsoletos se vuelven complicados de mantener y deben reemplazarse, lo que fuerza a los proveedores ERP a elegir entre continuar brindando soporte a los productos heredados o establecer un plan de “fin de vida útil” con la esperanza de que los clientes hagan la transición a la última versión. Cuando llega el momento, muchas empresas están listas para pasar al siguiente capítulo. Para otros, la transición puede sentirse como un desalojo sorpresa. Recientemente, Microsoft anunció que suspenderá el soporte de Dynamics Great Plains para 2025. El sistema Great Plains en sí mismo se considera un gigante en la industria y ha brindado una solución de contabilidad y ERP confiable durante décadas. Esta noticia dejó a muchas pequeñas y medianas empresas sintiéndose inseguras. En un esfuerzo por ayudar a las organizaciones a digerir este último anuncio de Microsoft, profundicemos en la historia de GP, lo que significa este anuncio de fin de vida útil para Microsoft, y cómo los clientes actuales de GP pueden navegar su futuro en ERP.

En muchos sentidos, un sistema ERP actúa como una entidad viva que respira dentro de una organización. Estos sistemas requieren un cierto nivel de atención para funcionar con éxito, incluso después de completada la implementación. Aunque muchos consideran que el software ERP es una inversión que merece la pena, no es, ni mucho menos, una solución inmortal.

How to Manage Your First Digital Transformation or ERP Implementation Project

One of the common and intriguing observations we make with our clients is that many digital transformation leaders and project team members lack prior experience in transformations.
