When is Dynamics GP On Premise right for you?

Have you ever felt there are too many options with how you can deploy your Microsoft Dynamics GP solution?  Do not let the flexibility halt your decision making process.  Depending on the size, IT resources available and requirements of your organization, all options could make sense, at different stages of your organizations growth.   The great thing about Dynamics GP is its ability to scale and adapt to your organization and continue to allow for collaboration throughout the organization.

First, let’s clarify what these advantages are.

On-Premise:

Tried and True. This has been the standard implementation since the inception of Dynamics ERP some 20 yrs ago. On-premise provides full-bodied functionality and customizations to companies with their own internal IT resources.  On-premise solutions require adequate infrastructure, and a commitment to on-going maintenance and security.  This doesn’t mean you have to be a Fortune 500 Company.  Simply, it is advantageous to have suitable IT on staff.  The total cost of ownership is higher than the other options, but can be reduced over time and the ROI could be substantial if set up correctly.

Payment: Owned License with up-front software purchase that can be financed using Microsoft Financing with some incredible offers right now. This along with the Get 3 for 1 license special can have you pocketing up to $8,000 and a low monthly payment for your solution.

On premise might be a good fit if your organization:

• Has more than 10-15 users.
• Has the need for increased customizations and integration with other applications to maximize your efficiencies. (yes please!)
• Prefers to have complete control over the maintenance windows, issue resolution, security, data, and service pack updates etc.
• Is interested in greater long-term value and ideal when you’ve already invested in an IT environment and staff.

 

However you look at it, On Premise deployment although may be the most expensive option will provide you the greatest amount of control as well as the best options to customize and adapt to your quick and growing organization.
