security & operational risks of delaying Dynamics SL migration.

As Dynamics SL becomes outdated, delaying migration can cause security and operational challenges.

A

No feature enhancements

Microsoft has already ended mainstream support for Dynamics SL, which means that the ERP will no longer receive any new feature or design enhancements. The company is heavily focused on advancing and innovating its cloud ERP solutions, such as Business Central. Businesses that delay migration from Dynamics SL will eventually find themselves at a disadvantage as more competitors embrace advanced project and financial management systems that offer real-time insights and AI-powered functionality.

A

security challenges

Secondly, Dynamics SL is currently in the extended support phase, which is set to end in 2028. During extended support, Microsoft will only release security updates for Dynamics SL. However, these updates may not cover all security concerns, which could leave your system vulnerable to cyber-attacks and other regulatory compliance challenges.
