Microsoft Dynamics GP Migration to Oracle NetSuite: What You Need to Know and How to Migrate

Microsoft has officially announced the end of product support and updates for Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains (GP) on December 31, 2029, with mainstream support ending September 30, 2029, and security updates ceasing April 30, 2031. This marks the end of a 20+ year legacy system and pushes organisations to evaluate modern ERP alternatives. For many, the logical next step is Oracle NetSuite, the #1 AI-powered cloud ERP.

This guide explains why Microsoft is ending GP, what it means for existing users, and provides a full migration and implementation toolkit, including how Versich helps organisations migrate successfully.

Why Is Microsoft Ending Support for Dynamics Great Plains (GP)?

Microsoft’s strategic direction has shifted toward cloud-first, AI-enabled business applications primarily Microsoft Dynamics 365 BusinessCentral as Dynamics Great Plains (GP) on-premise architecture is no longer sustainable and lacks modern features.
Maintaining on-premises legacy systems like Dynamics Great Plains (GP) creates:

• High technical debt: Years of accumulated customizations, manual workarounds, and outdated integrations make Dynamics GP costly and complex to maintain. Enhancements often require significant developer effort, increasing long-term support costs.
  
• Outdated architecture: The underlying technology of Dynamics GP is no longer a sustainable foundation for a modern ERP system, as it is built on an older SQL database and Dexterity programming language.
  
• Limited scalability: Microsoft has already ceased adding major new features to GP, so it will not evolve with modern ERP needs or stay competitive in the long term
  
• Minimal AI and automation capabilities: Dynamics GP lacks modern AI tools, predictive analytics, embedded automation, and workflow intelligence. Without these capabilities, businesses miss out on efficiency gains available in cloud-based ERP systems like Dynamics 365 or NetSuite.
  
• Higher security and maintenance overhead: As technology evolves, the on-premise nature of GP poses security risks and potential compatibility issues with newer operating systems, hardware, and other software integrations.
  
• Difficulty supporting hybrid workforces: GP’s on-premise setup limits remote accessibility, requiring VPNs or remote desktops that slow performance and create security risks. Modern organisations need cloud-native access for distributed teams, which Dynamics GP cannot provide.

Dynamics GP was built for the 1990s/2000s on-prem, client-server era. Today’s market demands AI and cloud-native architectures. Microsoft confirms that future investments will be fully focused on cloud solutions, not GP.

What Does The end of product support and updates Mean for Users of Dynamics GP?

1. No new features or product innovation
   All development halts in 2029, meaning your ERP will stagnate and fall behind modern operational and reporting needs.
   
2. Increasing security risks
   Security patches end in 2031, exposing your business to vulnerabilities, data breaches, and unsupported infrastructure.
   
3. Higher operating and IT maintenance costs
   Maintaining on-premise servers, ageing infrastructure, customisations, and third-party add-ons becomes progressively more expensive and resource-intensive.
   
4. Compliance and audit challenges
   Outdated systems become difficult to align with evolving SOX, IFRS, ASC 606/IFRS 15, and tax/audit requirements, increasing risk and administrative burden.
   
5. Shrinking talent pool
   Fewer partners and consultants are supporting Dynamics GP, leading to longer wait times, higher costs, and limited expertise.
   
6. Eventual system obsolescence
   Delaying migration increases the risk of operational disruption when the system can no longer be supported or integrated with modern applications.

With the above risks, Business make migration plans to modern ERP alternatives like Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Acumatica, Odoo

Why Companies Choose NetSuite Over Microsoft Dynamics 365 When Migrating from Microsoft Dynamics GP

1. Unified Business Suite

NetSuite delivers a fully integrated cloud-native platform that combines ERP, financial management, CRM, inventory, procurement, eCommerce, and analytics in a single system. This unified architecture eliminates siloed applications and manual data entry, giving businesses real-time visibility and a consistent data model across all operations.

For Dynamics GP users, this consolidation is a major advantage. NetSuite removes reliance on on-premise servers, reduces IT overhead, and replaces fragmented add-ons with a seamless end-to-end suite. The result is better decision-making, improved operational efficiency, and a modern foundation built for growth.

2. Cloud-Native Architecture

NetSuite was built for the cloud from day one. Users benefit from anytime-anywhere access, reduced infrastructure costs, embedded security controls, continuous backups, and high availability. Distributed teams, remote employees, and multi-location organizations all gain immediate access to consistent, real-time data.

For GP customers who often struggle with aging servers, VPN access, and rising maintenance costs, NetSuite’s cloud-native design removes the complexity of hosting, patching, and securing an on-premise ERP environment. The system scales automatically and ensures business continuity without dependency on internal IT resources.

3. Real-Time Data and Analytics

NetSuite provides a single source of truth with real-time reporting, role-based dashboards, drill-down analytics, and embedded KPIs. Users can analyze the latest financial, operational, and sales data without exports or IT support.

Dynamics GP users often rely on manual reporting, batch processes, or external tools for analytics. NetSuite eliminates these delays, enabling proactive, data-driven decisions across every department.

4. Automatic Biannual Upgrades

NetSuite delivers two major updates per year, applied automatically with minimal disruption. Customers also receive a Release Preview environment to test new features ahead of deployment.

Compared to GP, manual upgrades often requiring consultants, downtime, and additional cost. NetSuite’s automated updates ensure organizations always run the latest, most secure version of the system. This significantly reduces IT workload and improves long-term ERP stability.

5. Scalability for Growing Businesses

NetSuite easily handles increasing transaction volumes, users, and global entities without performance degradation. Its modular design allows organizations to add capabilities as they expand.

This is a significant upgrade for GP users, whose on-premise environment imposes limitations on throughput, hardware, and expansion. NetSuite’s built-in scalability provides a future-proof platform that grows with the business.

6. SuiteCommerce for Integrated eCommerce

SuiteCommerce connects eCommerce, ERP, CRM, inventory, and order management into one unified platform. Merchants gain real-time inventory visibility, automated data flow, mobile-optimized storefronts, and omnichannel capabilities across B2B and B2C.

For Dynamic GP users who typically rely on multiple plugins or third-party connectors, SuiteCommerce removes integration challenges, reduces manual errors, and enhances the customer experience.

7. SaaS Subscription Model

NetSuite’s SaaS pricing model delivers predictable, subscription-based costs. Oracle manages all infrastructure, maintenance, security, and upgrades, enabling teams to focus on operations rather than managing servers and patches.

Dynamics GP customers often face rising costs tied to hardware, hosting, and third-party add-ons. Switching to NetSuite’s SaaS model improves cost control, simplifies budgeting, and reduces total cost of ownership.

8. Customization and Flexibility (SuiteCloud Platform)

NetSuite is highly extensible through the SuiteCloud platform. SuiteScript, SuiteFlow, SuiteBuilder, and robust APIs enable advanced automation, custom workflows, and integrations without compromising upgradeability.

GP users gain far greater flexibility than their existing system allows without worrying about breaking customizations during upgrades. NetSuite’s configuration-driven approach ensures the system adapts to the business, not the other way around.

9. Global Reach and Multinational Support

NetSuite addresses the needs of global businesses with native multi-subsidiary management, multi-currency, multi-tax, multi-language capabilities, and compliance with international accounting standards.

Dynamics GP lacks true multi-entity and global consolidation capabilities without heavy customizations or third-party tools. NetSuite provides a unified platform for global accounting, tax, and financial reporting, enabling streamlined multinational operations.

10. Modern User Experience (UX)

NetSuite offers a clean, intuitive interface with customizable dashboards, mobile access, role centers, and embedded analytics. The system is designed to reduce complexity and improve productivity across finance, operations, and leadership roles.

NetSuite simplifies the technology stack by consolidating functions GP relies on third-party tools for.

Versich Approach to Data Migration from Dynamics GP to NetSuite

We follow a repeatable, controlled and standardize methodology for the migration to NetSuite, Inviolving:

1. Data Discovery – Identify tables, fields, SmartLists, and extensions.
2. Data Mapping – Map GP entities to NetSuite (Vendor, Customer, GL, Items, SOP/POP).
3. Data Cleansing – Remove duplicates, normalise records, and align COA.
4. Data Transformation – Convert GP data into NetSuite CSV templates.
5. Migration Mock Runs – Iterative testing and reconciliation.
6. Final Cutover – Deliver clean, validated data in NetSuite.
7. Historical Data Migration – Optional load of multiple years' transactions.

 Dynamics GP to NetSuite – Versich Migration Approach

Phase 1: Data Discovery
We begin by getting a full view of your current Dynamics GP environment. We identify every relevant table, field, SmartList, report, and extension in use, including any third-party add-ons. This step ensures nothing critical is missed and gives us the foundation for a clean, controlled migration plan.

Phase 2: Data Mapping
Next, we translate your Dynamics GP structure into NetSuite’s data model. We do this by mapping all core entities - Vendors, Customers, GL accounts, Items, SOP/POP transactions, and supporting records into their NetSuite equivalents. The goal is to preserve your business logic while positioning your data to work natively in NetSuite.

Phase 3: Data Cleansing
Before we move anything, we fix what GP has accumulated over time. This is done by removing duplicates, normalises vendor and customer records, resolves inconsistencies, and aligns your Chart of Accounts and dimensions. This step prevents messy historical data from becoming a problem in your new ERP.

Phase 4: Data Transformation
Once your data is clean and mapped, we convert it into NetSuite-ready formats. Ourdata migration team then transforms GP exports into NetSuite CSV templates, ensuring field order, relationships, subsidiary rules, and required values are correct. This is where GP data becomes structurally compatible with NetSuite.

Phase 5: Migration Mock Runs
We don’t wait until go-live to test. Next phase involves performing multiple mock migrations, loading subsets of data into NetSuite and reconciling results line-by-line. Each run helps confirm accuracy, identify gaps early, and refine the migration until the output is consistently clean.

Phase 6: Final Cutover
When testing proves the migration is correct, we execute the final move. We perform cutover with validated datasets, reconciles totals against GP, and confirms that opening balances, subledgers, and key records are fully accurate in NetSuite. You go live with confidence, not guesswork.

Phase 7: Historical Data Migration (Optional)
If you want multiple years of historical transactions in NetSuite, We can load them in a controlled way after cutover. This provides long-term reporting continuity without slowing the core go-live. Historical loads are optional and tailored to your audit and reporting needs.

Key Data to Migrate from Dynamics GP

For a successful data migration – The master Data, Work-in-Progress Data and Historical data from GP needs to migrated. We’ll go in detail what these 3 terms entails

1. Dynamics GP Master Data

What is the Master Data?
Master Data refers to the core, foundational records that a business relies on across departments and systems.
These are the non-transactional records that stay relatively stable over time and are used repeatedly in day-to-day operations.

In an ERP context (including Dynamics GP and NetSuite), Master Data defines “who,” “what,” and “where” in your business processes.

Master Data is the set of essential business records that remain consistent across the organization, such as:

• Customers
• Vendors
• Items / Inventory
• General Ledger Accounts
• Employees
• Locations
• Projects / Jobs

These records are referenced in every transaction (POs, invoices, journals, sales orders, etc.).

Common Challenges with Migrating Master Data

• Dirty Data That Needs Cleansing: Legacy Dynamics GP systems often contain old, inactive, or duplicated records that require significant cleanup before they can be migrated accurately.
  
• Custom Extender or Add-On Data: Third-party tables created through Extender or other add-ons often contain non-standard fields that are difficult to map and require additional migration effort.
  
• Account Segments to Dimensions: GP’s segmented chart of accounts must be restructured into NetSuite’s dimension-based classifications, requiring careful mapping to ensure reporting integrity.
  
• Limitations of NetSuite’s CSV Imports: NetSuite’s native CSV and Application Suite imports offer limited customisation and weak error-handling, making complex GP migrations harder to execute without advanced tooling.
  

The Versich Advantage (How Versich Helps) – Master Data

• Purpose-Built Migration Templates: we provides pre-configured NetSuite templates tailored for Dynamics GP, giving every project a structured starting point that can be quickly adapted to your chart of accounts, entities, and operational requirements.
  
• Guided Data Extraction and Review: We streamline the extraction of all GP master data including SmartLists, extensions, and custom tables and guide your team through a simple review process so only clean, relevant, and validated data is migrated.
  
• End-to-End Data Handling Expertise: Versich manages the full data journey from mapping to cleansing, transformation, and validation ensuring relationships, dependencies, classifications, and lookups are migrated accurately across all NetSuite record types.
  
• Intelligent Error Handling and Reprocessing: Our migration framework makes identifying and correcting errors effortless, allowing failed lines to be fixed and reprocessed in real time, which reduces project delays and ensures a smooth, predictable migration experience.
  

2. Work-in-Progress GP Data

What is Work-in-progress (WIP) Data in Dynamics GP?

Work-in-Progress data refers to any unposted, partially completed, or in-transit transactions that sit in Dynamics GP’s “Work” or “Open” tables at the time of migration. These are transactions that have been entered into the system but have not yet completed the full posting cycle, meaning they still affect operational, financial, or inventory balances and must be accounted for during a GP -  NetSuite migration.

In simple terms:
WIP data = anything that has started in GP but hasn’t been fully posted, cleared, or finalized yet.

This typically includes:

• Open sales transactions (SOP Work/Open tables): These are sales documents that have been created in Dynamics GP but not yet posted, requiring careful migration to avoid duplication or loss of revenue-impacting data.
• Open payables transactions (unposted vendor invoices/credits): These are any supplier invoices or credits that remain unposted must be carried into NetSuite accurately to preserve outstanding liabilities.
• Unreconciled bank transactions (outstanding checks, deposits, adjustments): These are Items still pending bank reconciliation such as deposits, adjustments, or outstanding checks that need to be migrated thoughtfully so bank accounts begin in NetSuite with accurate positions.
• Items in transit: Inventory movements that started in GP but were not fully posted need to be captured to ensure stock levels and valuation remain correct after go-live. (inventory shipped or received but not fully posted)

• GL beginning balances or net change amounts: General Ledger amounts that represent the unposted portion of the period must be transferred so the new environment reflects an accurate financial starting point.

Common Challenges of Migrating Work-in-Progress Data

• Partially Processed Transactions: Work-in-progress transactions such as sales orders that are shipped but not posted, or vendor invoices entered but not yet updated can be difficult to migrate because their lifecycle is incomplete and must be preserved accurately in NetSuite.
• Dependencies on Updated Master Data: Changes to related master data such as customers, vendors, items, or account structures must be aligned first, because WIP transactions depend on these records to map correctly into NetSuite.
• Allocation and Distribution Differences: Dynamics GP uses line-level distributions that don’t map directly into NetSuite. These require conversion into NetSuite journal entries or reconfigured allocation rules to maintain accounting accuracy.
• Phased Migration Requirements: When multiple companies or entities exist in GP, migrating all WIP at once may not be practical. A phased approach—migrating one company at a time may be necessary to minimize operational disruption and ensure clean cutovers.

The Versich Advantage (How Versich Helps) - Work-in-Progress Data

• Standardized Import Framework: Versich uses a consistent, proven import method that streamlines every step of the migration process, ensuring all WIP data is handled efficiently and accurately.
• Controlled and Purposeful Data Migration: We migrate only the Work-in-Progress data that is required—such as open transactions—allowing your organisation to start clean in NetSuite without unnecessary historical clutter.
• Preserved Data Relationships: Versich expertly joins and restructures GP Work, Open, and History tables to maintain critical relationships between customers, vendors, items, distributions, and supporting data as they move into NetSuite.
• Seamless Multi-Company Transition: Whether you need to migrate multiple GP company databases, consolidate them, or split them into NetSuite subsidiaries, Versich manages the process in a controlled and structured way to avoid operational disruption.
• Simplified Error Handling and Reprocessing: Our approach provides clear visibility into errors and allows quick resolution and reprocessing, keeping your migration on schedule and eliminating the risk of failed data loads slowing down the project.

3. Historical Data in Dynamics GP

Historical Data refers to all fully posted, completed, or closed transactions stored in Dynamics GP’s “History” tables. These records represent the organisation’s past financial and operational activity and are no longer editable in GP. Historical Data is essential for audit compliance, reporting continuity, customer/vendor history, inventory traceability, and regulatory requirements.

In simple terms:
Historical Data = everything that has already been posted and forms the permanent record of your business activity.

This typically includes completed transactions such as:

• General Ledger (GL) transaction history: This includes all fully posted journal entries from prior periods that reflect the organisation’s complete financial activity and provide the foundation for comparative reporting in NetSuite.
• Time and expense history: These are historical submissions such as employee timesheets or expense reports that have already been processed in GP but may be needed for audit, compliance, or project cost visibility.
• Historical or fully paid transactions: Posted sales and purchasing documents (invoices, payments, credits) that are complete in GP but important for customer/vendor history, ageing analysis, and long-term reference.
• Serial and lot tracking history: Records showing which serial or lot numbers were sold, received, or consumed in the past, essential for industries that require traceability and regulatory compliance.
• Notes: Any attached notes captured at the transaction or master-record level that help preserve context, approvals, or audit trails.
• Document attachments: Supporting documents such as invoices, POs, receipts, and contracts linked to historical transactions that may need to be archived or migrated for auditability and operational continuity.

Common Challenges of Migrating Historical Data

• Large Volumes of Posted Transactions: Historical GP databases often contain many years of posted activity, making extraction, transformation, and loading into NetSuite time-consuming and technically demanding.
• Complex Table Structures: Dynamics GP stores history across multiple linked tables—sometimes dozens per module—requiring careful joining and reconstruction to ensure data remains accurate and relationally intact when migrated.
• Inconsistent or Legacy Coding: Old account structures, discontinued items, inactive customers/vendors, and outdated classifications can make historical records difficult to map cleanly into NetSuite’s modern data model.
• Attachments and Notes Migration: Historical documents, comments, and supporting files are often stored in separate GP locations or third-party add-ons, complicating efforts to migrate them in a usable and searchable format.
• Performance and Timing Constraints: Migrating large datasets can impact project timelines, requiring sequencing, batching, or post-go-live loading to avoid delaying the core ERP cutover.

The Versich Advantage (How Versich Helps) - Historical Data

• Structured Extraction of Historical Records: Versich reconstructs Dynamics GP history from its distributed tables, joining sales, purchasing, GL, inventory, and project records so they migrate into NetSuite as complete, accurate datasets.
• Clean Mapping Into NetSuite’s Data Model: We translate GP’s legacy structures including old accounts, inactive records, and historical coding into NetSuite classifications, ensuring your historical data aligns cleanly with your new Chart of Accounts, items, and subsidiaries.
• Optimised Loading Strategy: Instead of overwhelming the system, Versich batches, sequences, and prioritises loads to deliver historical data without delaying your main go-live, including options for post-cutover migration when appropriate.
• Attachment and Note Preservation: We extract, organise, and migrate GP document attachments and notes even when stored in third-party add-ons so your team retains audit trails, proofs, and supporting documentation inside NetSuite.
• Performance-Safe Migration: Versich uses tuned processes and validated templates to ensure historical loads run efficiently and without impacting system performance during the critical phases of your project.

How Long Does It Take to Implement NetSuite?

The timeline for a NetSuite implementation depends on several factors organisation size, process complexity, the amount of customisation required, and how prepared teams are for the transition. Because NetSuite is highly configurable, implementations can move quickly when processes are clear, or take longer when businesses require deeper customisation, multiple integrations, or extensive data migration.

Below is a clearer, more practical overview of what drives the timeline and what each phase includes.

1. Discovery & Business Analysis

We begin by understanding current processes, pain points, reporting needs, and future-state requirements. This allows us to define scope, map key workflows, and design the solution correctly from day one.

2. Configuration & Customisation

NetSuite is configured to match the organisation’s structure chart of accounts, subsidiaries, tax rules, approvals, roles, and security.
Where required, we build enhancements such as custom fields, workflows, SuiteScripts, integrations, and role-based dashboards.

3. Data Migration

We extract, cleanse, map, and convert data from legacy systems into NetSuite-ready templates. This includes customers, vendors, items, GL balances, open transactions, and if needed historical data.

4. Testing & Validation

We run unit tests, integration tests, and full UAT cycles to ensure the system operates correctly. This stage confirms processes, catches issues early, and validates that teams can perform day-to-day tasks.

5. Training & Change Adoption

We equip teams with the training, guides, and role-based dashboards they need to use NetSuite confidently. Good training is essential for adoption and long-term success.

6. Go-Live & Hypercare

Once the system is validated, we cut over, migrate opening balances, and support users through the first month-end close to ensure stability.

Typical Timelines

• Essential Requirements / Small teams: 4–8 weeks
• Mid-size organisations with moderate customisation: 8–16 weeks
• Large or complex organisations, integrations, multi-subsidiary: 4–6 months
• Enterprise-scale with multiple workstreams: 6–12+ months

Timelines accelerate dramatically when businesses have well-documented processes, clean data, and decision-makers engaged from the start.

Final Note

A successful implementation depends on clarity, strong project governance, and an experienced delivery team.
We specialise in delivering structured, efficient, and high-quality NetSuite implementations ensuring organisations go live with a system that works the way they do, not the other way around.
