The Livermore Area Recreation and Park District (LARPD) had been using Microsoft Dynamics GP for more than 20 years when it became clear that it was time to modernize. As the organization began planning its GP to Business Central migration, it partnered with Opal Business Solutions to move forward with a team it already knew and trusted.
For LARPD, the decision was not just about replacing an aging system. It was about finding a practical path forward, preserving important historical data, and working with a partner that understood both the system and the accounting side of the process.
To capture that story, Opal sat down with Julie Dreher, Finance Officer at LARPD, to talk through what prompted the move, what stood out during the migration, and how the transition to Business Central has helped support ongoing modernization efforts.
In the full case study, Julie shares:
- Why LARPD decided now was the right time for a GP to Business Central migration
- What made Opal the right partner for the project
- How the migration process helped bring data over as expected
- What stood out about the support LARPD received before, during, and after go-live
Julie’s recommendation says a lot on its own: when asked whether she would recommend Opal as a migration partner, her answer was simple — “Yes, 100%.”
