For years, Microsoft Dynamics GP has been the backbone of your operations. It’s the engine that powers your distribution, your manufacturing, and your growth. However, with recent industry conversations focused on “the end of the road,” many businesses feel pressured to make a move before they are ready.
At Cavallo, we see things differently. We aren’t here to force a migration; we’re here to fuel your momentum.
The Why – A Real Story of a Pressured Migration
The experience of NewStar Sourcing serves as a powerful cautionary tale for distributors weighing the complexity of a full rebuild against the stability of their current systems.
For NewStar Sourcing, the attempt to move to Business Central resulted in an entire year lost to a failed implementation process, over $100,000 in sunk costs that were essentially flushed without achieving results, and seven weeks of operational turmoil following the “go-live” date.
After experiencing significant disruption, NewStar Sourcing successfully transitioned from chaos to calm by returning to the stability of Dynamics GP and SalesPad. By regaining control over their ERP environment, they restored over a decade of proven system reliability and saw immediate, measurable improvements in their daily operations. Efficiency skyrocketed as workflows became 3x to 5x faster than their experience with Business Central, largely because complex processes that previously required ten steps were reduced back to just two or three simple keystrokes or clicks.
Extending the GP Runway Beyond 2031
While the ERP technology landscape is always shifting, your business shouldn’t have to shift on someone else’s timeline. We are committed to helping our customers and future customers extend their Dynamics GP runway well beyond 2031 in collaboration with the Knights of GP.
Knights of GP
The Knights of GP is a growing, community-led initiative bringing Dynamics GP users, ISVs, consultants, and advocates together to shape what comes next.
A Promise from Our Leadership
Our dedication to this community starts at the top. As our CEO, Michael Biwer, recently shared:
“Our promise is simple: we’re here for the long haul. Cavallo will support SalesPad for GP for at least the next ten years — and longer for customers who continue to rely on it. Because our commitment isn’t to a timeline, it’s to the people and businesses who’ve built their success with us.”
