Dynamics GP Cloud Hosting — Managed by the Same Team That Supports Your System
Your GP system, hosted securely in the cloud, backed by a team with 33 years of Dynamics GP experience. No separate hosting vendor. No finger-pointing when something breaks.
Argus Consulting Group hosts Microsoft Dynamics GP in the cloud for companies that want their hosting provider and their GP support team to be the same people.
With 33 years of GP experience, Argus manages the cloud infrastructure, daily backups, security, and system upgrades — and handles GP application issues directly, without finger-pointing between a hosting vendor and a separate consultant. Cloud hosting is bundled with GP support in annual contracts. Headquartered in Pasadena, California, serving clients nationwide.
The Problem With How Most Companies Host Dynamics GP
Most companies running Dynamics GP are in one of two situations with their hosting — and neither is great.
You’re still running GP on an in-house server.
The server is aging. It sits in a closet or a small server room. Your IT person manages it, or worse, nobody manages it. Backups happen when someone remembers. When the server has a hardware failure, your entire finance team is down until it’s fixed. You know this is a risk. You just haven’t moved because moving feels complicated.
You’re hosting GP with a generic cloud provider.
You moved GP to the cloud, but the hosting company doesn’t know Dynamics GP. They manage the server. They manage the network. But when GP itself has a problem — a module error, a report that won’t run, a posting issue during month-end close — they point you to your GP consultant. And your GP consultant points you back to the hosting company. You’re stuck in the middle, and nobody owns the problem.
The issue isn’t whether GP should be in the cloud. The issue is who manages it.
One Vendor. One Call. One Team That Owns the Whole Stack.
When your GP host and your GP support team are two different companies, problems fall through the gap between them. When they’re the same company — when the people managing your cloud environment are the same people who configure your GP system, build your reports, and fix your month-end close — problems get solved in one call.
That’s what Argus offers. Dynamics GP cloud hosting managed by the same team that supports your GP system. One vendor. One call. One team that owns the whole stack.
What Argus GP Cloud Hosting Includes
Why Hosting and GP Support Should Come From the Same Partner
| Situation | Argus (Hosting + GP Support) | Separate Hosting + GP Vendors |
|---|---|---|
| When GP has an application error | One call. The team that hosts it also built it. Fixed. | Call hosting vendor → “not our layer.” Call GP consultant → “we need server access.” Back and forth. |
| When a GP upgrade is available | Argus tests in your environment, verifies customizations, applies the update. One team. | GP consultant requests a maintenance window from hosting. Hosting applies the patch. GP consultant tests after. Coordination tax on every update. |
| When month-end close breaks | Same-day response. The team already has full access to the server AND the GP configuration. | Hosting confirms server is fine. GP consultant needs remote access to diagnose. Hours or days before the issue is even identified. |
| When an integration stops syncing | Argus checks the connection, the data flow, and the GP side in one pass. | Is it the integration? The server? The GP config? Nobody knows. Three vendors, three tickets. |
| Who you call at 4:30 PM on the last day of the month | Argus. | Good question. |

The pattern is always the same: when hosting and support are separate, problems take longer to diagnose, longer to fix, and cost more to resolve. When they’re the same team, you get one call, one diagnosis, one fix.
When COVID Hit, Argus Clients Were Already in the Cloud
When offices shut down in 2020, companies with on-premise GP servers scrambled. Finance teams couldn’t access the system. Month-end close happened on spreadsheets and phone calls. Some companies went weeks without reliable financial reporting.
Argus clients didn’t scramble. Their GP systems were already hosted in the cloud. Their teams logged in from home the same way they logged in from the office. Month-end close happened on schedule. Nothing changed except where people sat.

Hosting Backed by Three Decades on One Platform
Working with Microsoft Dynamics GP, continuously, since 1993. We’ve hosted GP through every version, every module, and every kind of client environment.
The year Argus started supporting Dynamics GP. When something goes wrong in a hosted environment, we’ve usually seen it before.
Hosting, GP support, upgrades, custom reporting, and integration maintenance in a single annual contract. No coordinating between vendors.
The year Argus has committed to supporting Dynamics GP through. Your cloud environment won’t be sunsetted because your partner left the platform.
GP Support Through 2036
When you host GP with Argus, your hosting partner has committed to supporting Dynamics GP through 2036. Your cloud environment won’t be sunsetted because your partner decided to stop supporting the platform.

What Is Dynamics GP Cloud Hosting?
Dynamics GP cloud hosting is the migration of a company’s Dynamics GP system from an on-premise server to a managed cloud environment where the infrastructure — servers, backups, security, patching, and monitoring — is handled by a hosting provider. When cloud hosting is managed by the same partner that provides GP consulting and support, application-level issues (module errors, posting problems, month-end close failures) and infrastructure issues (server performance, connectivity, backups) are resolved by one team instead of being escalated between separate vendors.
Common Questions About Dynamics GP Cloud Hosting
What does Dynamics GP cloud hosting cost?
Cloud hosting is bundled into Argus annual support contracts. The total annual contract — hosting plus GP support — typically runs $50K to $150K depending on your environment, number of users, and the level of GP support included.
Can I access GP from anywhere?
Yes. Cloud-hosted GP is accessible from any device with an internet connection. Your team can work from the office, from home, or from a satellite location. The login experience is the same regardless of where they sit.
What happens if the server goes down?
We monitor the hosting environment continuously. If there’s an outage, we diagnose and restore. Your data is backed up daily, and we maintain the infrastructure to minimize downtime.
Does hosting include GP support?
Yes — Argus cloud hosting is bundled with GP support in our annual contracts. Hosting without support is available but most clients choose the bundle because the value of having one team handle everything is the whole point.
Can I move my data out if I leave Argus hosting?
Yes. You own your data. If you decide to move your hosting, we help you migrate your system to another environment. No lock-in.
What if I’m already hosting GP somewhere else?
We can migrate your hosted GP system to Argus hosting. We’ll assess your current environment, plan the migration, and handle the move so there’s no downtime during the transition. The advantage: once we’re hosting, your support team and your hosting team are the same people.
Is my data secure?
Yes. We manage firewall configurations, access controls, and encrypted connections. Only authorized users access your system. Your data is backed up daily and stored securely.
