Why the AIM Assessment is the Key for Dynamics GP Users

October 10, 2024 Amanda Sherry

As Microsoft plans to sunset Dynamics GP by 2029, many businesses like yours are facing critical decisions about the future of their ERP systems. Moving to a cloud-based solution such as Dynamics 365 Business Central isn't just an upgrade—it's an opportunity to future-proof your business, optimize operations, and set yourself up for long-term growth.  

 

One essential tool to guide you through this transition is the Microsoft AIM (Accelerate, Innovate, Move) Assessment. This tailored assessment framework is designed specifically for Dynamics GP users, helping you understand the benefits of the cloud, reduce the complexity of migration, and ensure your move to Business Central is a success. But why is the AIM assessment so valuable, and why should you trust Western Computer to guide you through it? Let’s explore. 

 

What Is the AIM Assessment? 

 The AIM Assessment is a structured evaluation process that helps Dynamics GP users transition to Dynamics 365 Business Central. Here’s how it works: 

 

1. Understand the Benefits of Cloud Migration: The AIM assessment starts by identifying the advantages of moving from your on-premises Dynamics GP system to a cloud solution like Dynamics 365 Business Central. These benefits include cost savings, enhanced flexibility, and the ability to leverage modern technologies such as AI and automation. 

2.  Tailored to Your Business Goals: Every business is unique, which is why the AIM assessment focuses on understanding your specific goals and aligning them with the capabilities of Business Central. Whether it’s improving financial processes, enhancing operational efficiency, or empowering a mobile workforce, the assessment ensures your cloud migration delivers tangible business value. 

3. Optimized for a Seamless Migration: A migration can seem overwhelming, but the AIM assessment breaks down the process, identifying potential challenges, technical dependencies, and the best approach for your business. The result is a clear, documented migration plan that minimizes effort and costs, helping you move to the cloud smoothly and efficiently.
