David Meego - Click for blog homepageWinthrop Development Consultants is fully committed to the continued support of Microsoft Dynamics GP and its ecosystem. Our ISV products are only compatible with Dynamics GP and have been created to solve pain points and missing features as requested by the GP community.

While Microsoft has stated that they will cease support for Dynamics GP in 2031, it is important to note that “End of Support” does not equate to “End of Life”. There is plenty of life left in the product and, with the support of the community, GP will live on well past the official end of support. A driving force in the community support will be the Knights of GP.
