Why Sage Pro Still Works on Modern Systems Despite Its 2014 Discontinuation

Posted by Peter Heinicke on Mon, Dec 01, 2025 @ 06:00 AM

Even in a world where technology evolves at lightning speed, some systems stand the test of time not just as relics, but as functional tools that continue to perform exceptionally well. Sage Pro, though officially discontinued in 2014, is one such system. Many organizations that relied on its stability and deep integration with accounting and business operations continue to find value in it today. The question is not just why Sage Pro is still around, but also how it continues to run seamlessly on modern infrastructure such as Windows 11 Pro, Azure, and other advanced cloud hosting platforms.

At PC Methods, we’ve seen firsthand that with careful installation and a few technical tweaks, Sage Pro can operate smoothly even on the latest systems, bridging the gap between classic reliability and modern performance.

New Feature requests for Sage Pro ERP

Posted by Peter Heinicke on Sat, Jul 14, 2012 @ 11:35 AM

Sage has seemingly reversed a policy to deprecate Sage Pro Series. This makes sense because Sage Pro is the only open source product Sage has in its ERP arsenal. One of the indicators of this shift in policy is a new website inviting anyone to post new feature requests for future version.   At the time of this writing there were 16 ideas posted. You can also vote on other ideas that have been submitted.

Putting barcodes or RFID's on your ACCPAC ERP forms and why

Posted by Peter Heinicke on Wed, Apr 27, 2011 @ 09:31 PM

Why and how do you put barcodes on your accounting forms. Which ones can help you the most? This question when addressed properly can save a lot of time and effort on your ERP system's users part as well as on your business partners. It is not difficult to add barcodes to forms such as checks, purchase orders, sales orders, etc. There are even free fonts available which make adding the barcodes as easy as adding any other text string to an ERP system form. Any process where the ERP user has to read a form and retype the information into a computer is a potential process which can be improved by a barcode on the form.
