Microsoft Dynamics GP is reaching end of life. Municipalities running legacy municipal add-ons, AS/400, or on-premise ERP platforms face serious security and compliance exposure. A migration plan isn't optional, it's urgent.
Start with your situation
Preparing for PSAB or year-end reporting?
Start with the PSAB accelerator to map fund accounting, TCA, and audit readiness.
Replacing a legacy ERP?
Start with the migration path and understand what needs to be mapped before cutover.
Still defining scope?
Use ERP advisory to clarify current-state workflows, risks, assumptions, and implementation readiness.
Fixing civic workflows?
Review capability areas across finance, tax, utilities, permitting, HR, assets, records, and resident service.
Two priority paths for Canadian municipalities
PCL Civic focuses on two high-risk modernization areas: PSAB fund accounting readiness and Microsoft Dynamics GP migration. Both require workflow, reporting, data, and operational dependency mapping before implementation accelerates.
PSAB Fund Accounting Accelerator
For finance teams preparing for fund accounting, PSAB accrual reporting, tangible capital assets, deferred revenue, reserves, grants, post-employment benefit inputs, audit evidence, and year-end readiness.
Explore PSAB AcceleratorMicrosoft Dynamics GP Migration
For municipalities moving from Dynamics GP, legacy municipal add-ons, spreadsheets, historical reports, tax, utility, payroll, GIS, and finance dependencies into a modern PCL Civic environment.

Where we work
Ten civic and operational workflow areas - the modules Canadian municipalities most commonly modernise when they move to a modern ERP platform.
Utility Billing
Billing cycles · Meters · Arrears · Collections
Property Taxation
Levy · Notices · Arrears · Portals
Licensing
Business · Animal · Renewals · Fees
Permitting
Intake · Routing · Approvals · Issuance
Fund Accounting
Fund Ledger · PSAB · Accruals · Reporting
Budgeting
Capital · Operating · Variance · Forecasting
Citizen Portal
Payments · Accounts · Status · Self-Service
Asset Management
TCA · Lifecycle · Maintenance · Reporting
Planning & Development
Applications · Zoning · Subdivision · Reviews
Work Orders
Utility · Transportation · Scheduling · Tracking
HR & Payroll
Time · Pay · Year-End
General Finance
GL · AP/AR · Bank Reconciliation
Procurement & Inventory
Purchase Orders · Receiving
HR, payroll, and transactional finance are part of every municipal ERP scope. PCL implements them alongside the civic and operational modules above.
Specialized workflows matter in ERP replacement
For rural municipalities and counties, ERP replacement often includes more than core finance. Fixed assets, inventory, project costing, gravel haul, cemetery records, GIS handoffs, meter reads, banking files, and legacy reports may all need to be mapped before migration.
Explore Specialized Municipal OperationsMoving from Dynamics GP or another legacy municipal ERP?
Many municipalities are not replacing one system. They are untangling years of finance, payroll, tax, utility, reporting, GIS, document, and spreadsheet dependencies built around Microsoft Dynamics GP and municipal add-ons.
PCL helps map those dependencies before implementation so the migration is planned around workflows, data, integrations, controls, and operational blackout periods.
Explore the Migration PathNot ready to select a system yet?
Some municipalities first need help documenting current workflows, validating assumptions, organizing stakeholders, planning procurement, and setting up implementation governance before choosing or replacing an ERP platform.

Modernising utility billing, property tax, permitting, asset management, and work order workflows is different from a generic ERP deployment. Municipal operating calendars, legacy data sources, and public-sector procurement realities shape every decision.
