TRG’s GP Strategy and Commitment• Current strategy?
• No brainer - take great care of our GP clients!• Adapt to a “maintenance” lifecycle phase• Add consulting/support talent as needed• No new sales, but grow with “transition” clients
• Our commitment: 100%• GP represents roughly 80% of our client base• Very loyal customer base, long-term relationships
• Questions?

What Does “Maintenance Lifecycle“ Mean?• Our last new sale of GP was in 2017 (distribution clients)• Well-trained, mature set of users
• Don’t need “how to”• More complicated needs
• Support is mostly break-fix (small tasks, immediate)• Project work, such as:
• Automation/integrations (#1)• Process improvements• Additional companies, modules, ISV products• Budgeting and planning• Improved reporting

Why Did TRG Start Selling Sage Intacct?• 5 years ago we predicted the shift• Saw the benefit of cloud ERP• We want our clients looks to us as a technology leader• Did not want to become obsolete as a company• We want you to be our customer for life!!

Is GP Being Sunsetted?
• How many of you have heard this?• My thoughts – Not for a while
• Large, loyal user base• Little ongoing investments/costs needed to maintain• >90% renewal rate on enhancements (easy money)• They do not yet have a replacement that has market share• They still have a roadmap through next year• Regardless, you have a 10-year support guarantee
• Bottom line – you will want to move before you have to

What About GP in The Cloud• Is there a cloud version of GP?
• NO!
• Option is hosting in private cloud• Azure• AWS• Companies that specialize in GP (e.g., Data Resolution)
• Access will be through RDP or Citrix (not the GP web client)• Some providers include managed services (no IT for you)• Great stepping-stone option for some companies• MS Dynamics 365 is not GP in the Cloud
