A Seamless Transformation by Riseascend Technologies.
The Challenge
A leading distribution company was running on an outdated Microsoft Dynamics GP environment. They faced recurring issues like
- Manual processes and data duplication
- Complex and delayed month-end closings
- No remote access for distributed teams
- Poor integration with modern business tools
Riseascend Technologies delivered a successful migration to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, using our proven, low-risk migration framework:
Our Migration Approach
- Requirement Gathering & Gap Analysis
- Data Cleansing & Migration from GP to BC
- Redesign of Chart of Accounts & Financial Workflows
- Training Sessions for Core Teams
- Go-Live with Hypercare Support
They needed a scalable, cloud-based ERP to modernize operations and support business growth.
The Solution: Riseascend’s GP to Business Central Migration Framework
At Riseascend Technologies, we specialize in helping businesses transition smoothly from Microsoft Dynamics GP to Dynamics 365 Business Central. Our migration framework is designed to reduce risk, preserve data integrity, and improve efficiency without business disruption.
Here’s how our end-to-end framework works:
1. Requirement Analysis & Fit-Gap Study.
We begin with a detailed study of your current GP environment financial structure, modules in use, reporting needs and map them against Business Central capabilities to define gaps and requirements.
2. Data Cleansing & Historical Migration.
We clean and validate all relevant GP data master records, open transactions, and history then migrate it securely into Business Central using Microsoft-supported tools and custom mapping.
3. Chart of Accounts Redesign & Financial Workflow Optimization.
We redesign your chart of accounts for better reporting and compliance. Then, we streamline workflows around payables, receivables, general ledger, and bank reconciliations.
4. Customization & Integration Setup.
We replicate customizations from GP (if needed), or modernize them using Business Central extensions. We also integrate with tools like Power BI, Outlook, and 3rd party apps where required.
5. Training & Change Management.
We conduct user-based training sessions, build SOP documentation, and support user adoption. Our goal: your team becomes self-sufficient from day one.
6. Go-Live & Hypercare Support.
We execute go-live with minimal downtime, provide hypercare support for 2–3 weeks, and monitor KPIs to ensure smooth operations post-migration.
