The next release of Microsoft Dynamics GP will release the week of October 7, 2019. Big news is that it will be called…. Microsoft Dynamics GP.  In other words, Microsoft is removing the year and version number from the name in order to make the branding more consistent. (Under the covers this version is something like 18.20.XXXX, which makes us feel old as members of our team have been working with Great Plains since version 1.1).

With this release Dynamics GP will join the Modern Lifecycle Policy, which shows Microsoft’s commitment and investment to the product.  With the new release, we will see the lifecycle out past what we have today and guaranteed updates throughout the year, such as mid-year and year-end with a feature release each October.
