End of Life for Business Works?

SUGGESTED

Well folks, it's just about time for a new year, and while I write this today, it's December 21st of 2022. Currently the latest version of BW is 2021 SP11, and no new updates for version 2023 which is right around the corner. It's almost time to pass the year of 2022, and our BW software is stuck on version 2021, so I would assume this is the end of life for Business Works.

    It is  in maintenance mode.  Not killed, but no big updates to talk about.  Just service packs that may contain a feature or two but for all out purposes Tax updates and payroll updates. We have been told, that if the end should come, Sage would give about 1 year , heads up to that.

    The writing has been on the wall since 2012, look up the Sage CEO speech from August of 2012 on Youtube.  Even a developer has told us as early as 2013 of the pending end. We were looking for some electronic inventory solution back then.

    I wish it would get sold (again) and improved for the next 10-20 years.  The alternatives are so expensive. Over 10 times the yearly maintenance of BW

    Vince- Good News!  BusinessWorks is currently being sold as new business!  The information you have referenced is over 10 years ago and may no longer apply with the current values of Sage.  Anyone interested in purchasing Sage BusinessWorks or have questions on the product can contact the Business Care Account Managers in their region.
