Support for GP 2013 is ending in April

Mainstream Support for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 will end on 4/10/2018 which means, if you are on GP 2013 at that point in time, you will no longer receive tax and year end updates for that version from Microsoft.  Microsoft’s Lifecycle Policy of all of the Dynamics GP versions can be located here. BCS will continue to support this version as we do with ALL Dynamics GP versions, although for many reasons we recommend you to consider an upgrade sooner than later.  Please contact us to discuss the efforts required and the benefits of upgrading your GP solution.
