Our Migration Expertise

With our deep knowledge of both GP and Business Central, we offer:

  • Choice in approach – We offer three different ways for you to move to Business Central. We recognise that one size does not fit all, and our skills in both solutions allow us to work with that.
  • Minimising change – GP and Business Central are different; however, our deep understanding of both means we can reflect GP in Business Central for you. Plus, there are some things our clients love about GP that we’ve developed for Business Central.
  • Optimising on-going costs – We understand the offers GP clients are eligible for from Microsoft for Business Central licensing and can implement them for you.
  • Achieve More – If you are looking for more from Business Central than GP was delivering for you, PA is motivated to enable that transformation for you.
