"Thanks again for taking time during your vacation to window in and make the repairs on our server."
“We’re more efficient, Everybody can work at a better rate because it’s so smooth and we don’t have to stop for glitches.”
“Working with PC Methods was an extremely focused and smooth process. They simply took our needs that we gave them and did exactly what we asked them to do.
So, you can't buy Pro anymore, do you have to migrate to another product?
What does "end-of-life" mean: Sage has decided in 2014 that it is no longer profitable to sell this product. So, you can't buy more user licenses or different modules than what you already have, and you can only buy the product from another Sage Pro user who has decided to use a different accounting system.
The real question is, do you benefit from Pro's source code oriented approach to solving business requirements in ERP systems, and can live with the current number of users you have licensed, or do you need something else. We would be more than happy to assist you with evaluating your ERP roadmap. We have both source code and non-source code solutions available to consider.
