Sage are no longer developing the Sage 1000 ERP software (Sage Line 500). Any business using this software could be missing out on the latest technological efficiencies that Sage has to offer.
Since Sage published their end-of-life dates for both Sage 1000 and Sage Line 500, they have provided patching updates every few months, however, these services have only supported Sage 1000 v3 and v4 and Sage Line 500 v7.1. Prior versions are no longer being kept up to date.
By continuing to use the solution with additional patches or external integrated modules, businesses risk becoming vulnerable to bugs and susceptible to security breaches. What’s more, paying for third party integrated modules is an expensive way to manage a business as this will involve paying various different solution providers for support.
