Support extension announced for BusinessVision 32

An extension to technical support and payroll updates for BusinessVision 32 versions 5 and 6 has been offered by Sage Software due to the overwhelming number of clients to upgrade to Sage BusinessVision version 7.0. From the Sage announcement:

In order to make this transition as smooth as possible for our customers, we have decided to extend the support of Sage BusinessVision 5 and Sage BusinessVision 6 for six more months. This means that a January 2007 payroll tax table update will be available for the Canadian versions of Sage BusinessVision 5 and 6. However, this will be the last payroll update. There will not be a July 2007 tax table update, and all telephone support will cease on July 1, 2007. 

There will not be updates made available for the other products that were affected: that is, support and tax table updates will not be available for BVII, BVII+2, TURBO, ENCORE, and BusinessVision 2000. The July 2006 update in Canada will be the final release for these products.

Please contact RW&A with any questions about this extension.

NEW Date Format for Cheques
