Don’t be Afraid of Converting Data from Quickbooks to Microsoft Dynamics GP

One of the scariest things about upgrading to a new accounting software package is wondering how you will get all the important data from your old system into the new system. What if the data gets lost or mixed up? And how much will it cost? Consultants can spend dozens of hours mapping every single field to the right place. And that can double the cost of your accounting software project.

This is especially worrisome to small business owners. And it can even stop them from upgrading from a system like Quickbooks even after they have obviously outgrown the basic functionality. One solution is the Microsoft Rapid Implementation Tool. Microsoft designed this tool to help companies smoothly upgrade from Intuit Quickbooks to Microsoft Dynamics GP. This tool has been available for over a year, and Microsoft just released an upgrade to make it even easier. This new release allows us, as a Microsoft Dynamics GP Partner, to easily make changes to your Chart of Accounts from QuickBooks prior to migrating data to Dynamics GP.

So if you are outgrowing Quickbooks, don’t let data conversion scare you. The experts at CAL Business Solutions can help you upgrade smoothly.
