Microsoft Dynamics SL (DISCONTINUED)

Microsoft Dynamics SL is an ERP solution designed to meet the specific project management needs of industries such as professional services, construction, and government contracting. By focusing on industries with project-centric requirements, Dynamics SL integrates financial management, project accounting, and specialized tools for effectively managing project-based operations.

Originally built to support complex, project-driven workflows, Microsoft Dynamics SL provides features that streamline resource allocation, budgeting, and compliance requirements, essential for contract-based sectors.

What is the future of Dynamics SL?

While still valued for its project accounting capabilities and industry-specific functionality, it’s important to note that Microsoft has begun to sunset Dynamics SL. Dynamics SL 2018, the final planned version, will reach end-of-support in 2028, meaning users should explore future migration options within Microsoft's ERP ecosystem, such as Dynamics 365 Business Central or other solutions tailored to evolving business needs.

Legacy support and migration options

With Dynamics SL’s end-of-life approaching, Microsoft offers transition paths and partner guidance for migrating to modern ERP solutions, particularly Dynamics 365 Business Central.
