DACEASY LIVES! NO PRODUCT EOLS Featured

Connie Certusi, SageSaying Sage will not set product end-of-life dates, the company has resurrected the long-lived DacEasy. Sage issued an 18-month end-of-life warning a year ago for the low-cost desktop accounting package, but has revisited the decision after a "No forced migration" dictum from CEO Steve Kelly. "As a result of our new strategy, we are rescinding that decision," Connie Certusi, the EVP who heads Sage's Small Business Solutions operations, said this week.

"I have gotten many emails from DacEasy customers who are excited about that." In the last few years, Sage killed off PFW and Sage Pro with end-of-life warnings. But not forcing migration does not mean marginal products get robust funding. DacEasy, and any other product that might end up in the same situation, will get payroll tax tables, support and nothing else. "As long as we have customers paying for support contracts, we will continue to support them," she says. Some resellers have shied away from Sage 500 because they say the company gave strong signals it would kill that product, but then backed away from a final decision.
