Microsoft has ended mainstream support for many versions of Dynamics on-prem systems. This means that legacy Dynamics ERP and CRM users will soon be stuck with outdated or aging technology that is hard to support. Microsoft’s new Bridge to the Cloud 2 promotion is designed to accelerate these customers’ digital transformation journey.

With this offer, customers using Dynamics on-premises products such as GP, NAV, SL, CRM, and AX get a 40% discount during a 3-year term when migrating to functionally similar Dynamics 365 solutions. This is a great opportunity for Dynamics on-prem users to migrate to the cloud at a reduced cost and leverage scalable technology that can grow with their business!
