Frequently asked questions about the future of Sage BusinessWorks Accounting and Sage BusinessVision Accounting At Sage Summit 2012, Sage announced in the keynote speech that some of our more mature products are slated for reduced investment. These products include Sage BusinessWorks Accounting and Sage BusinessVision Accounting. This document answers some of the questions that we have heard from our customers and partners over the past few months. What does reduced investment mean? We will continue to invest in and support Sage BusinessWorks and Sage BusinessVision for the near future. Both products had a full release in calendar year 2013, which will be followed by product and tax updates throughout the year. However, as we realign our internal resources, future investment and development in Sage 50 Accounting, Sage 100 ERP, Sage 300 ERP, and Sage ERP X3 may outpace the investments that will be made into Sage BusinessWorks and Sage BusinessVision. Why are Sage BusinessWorks and Sage BusinessVision slated for reduced investment? Our customers are increasingly asking for new technologies to help them accelerate their business growth. In response, Sage is making investments in products such as mobile and the data cloud. The technology in Sage 50 Accounting, Sage 100 ERP, Sage 300 ERP, and Sage ERP X3 is better suited to support these services than the technology in some of our other products. What is the difference between sunset and end-of-life? For end-of-life (EOL) products, such as Sage Pro ERP and Sage PFW ERP, a retirement date has been announced, and support and updates will end at a certain (known) date. New license sales have ceased; renewals are only available up to the retirement date. For sunset products, the retirement decision has not been made, and the products remain active in support and development. In most cases, we still sell new licenses for the product, and we maintain an active maintenance and support program. It is business as usual, but with reduced future investment in the support and development of these products. 1
What Sage Business Care deliverables can I expect? Sage will continue to provide product and tax updates for Sage BusinessWorks and Sage BusinessVision, but we will move from annual release cycles to a more agile approach where we release product updates and enhancements throughout the year. The advantage for our customers is that they no longer have to wait for annual releases to receive all product and tax updates; these updates will be delivered as soon as they are ready. How long are you going to offer support for Sage BusinessWorks and Sage BusinessVision? At this time, we are not ending the product life of Sage BusinessWorks or Sage BusinessVision. Therefore any discussions about end of support are premature. However, our customers and partners can be assured that Sage will give ample notice if retirement for any products is to be announced, to facilitate a smooth transition to one of the more modern Sage accounting or ERP solutions. Should I stay active on my Sage Business Care plan? Sage BusinessWorks and Sage BusinessVision are viable products that will serve our customers for many years to come. Staying active on your Sage Business plan provides a variety of benefits: Insurance against critical failures Tax updates Cost savings through the SIPP trade-in program Credit toward Sage Business Care plans on destination product Dual support while implementing the new Sage ERP Staying on plan will ensure the stability of your Sage BusinessWorks and Sage BusinessVision system, as you always have the latest updates and fixes. On-plan customers using payroll will continue to receive tax updates. On-plan customers are eligible for the migration offers provided through the SIPP, which can save them thousands of dollars on Sage solutions and third party products. For on-plan customers trading in their licenses, the monetary value of the remaining Sage BusinessWorks or Sage BusinessVision business care contract will be credited towards the cost of the destination product s Sage Business Care contract. On-plan customers trading in their licenses will receive continued support on Sage BusinessWorks or Sage BusinessVision for another six months at no additional cost. This means the customer has dual support for six months, making the transition even smoother. 2
What happens when Sage BusinessWorks or Sage BusinessVision no longer meets the needs of my business? For customers and partners not familiar with Sage accounting and ERP solutions, we recommend attending one of our bi-weekly Meet the family of Sage ERP solutions webinars, which provide an overview of our ERP and accounting solutions. Register here Also, please reach out to your account manager, who is able to assist you in finding a solution that will better meet your needs. What do I need to do right now? Sage is fully committed to support Sage BusinessWorks and Sage BusinessVision for the near future, and we will continue to provide our on-plan customers with product and tax updates. There is no need for customers to take any immediate action. However, the reduced investment in the sunset products will increasingly lead to significant functional advantages of our core products: Sage One, Sage 50 Accounting, Sage 100 ERP, Sage 300 ERP, and Sage ERP X3. Whom do I contact if I have more questions? In addition to talking to your business partner, you may also contact Sage directly at: 3

Sage ERP Named vs Concurrent Named users (Sage 300 Online) vs Concurrent (Sage 300 ERP on-premise or hosted), what's the difference? Think of a named user license as "owned" by and used exclusively by the named user assigned to it. Even if that user is not logged in at the time, their assigned named license is not available to be used by others users. The up-side to this type of license is that the named user will always be able to log into the software regardless of how many other users may be logged in since their license is held in reserve just for them. A concurrent license or group of concurrent licenses is a pool of licenses that can be used by an unlimited number of users who are assigned to use the pool. When a user assigned to the concurrent license pool tries to log in, Sage ERP checks to see if there is a concurrent license available and if so, they successfully log in. If all of the concurrent licenses in the pool are in use by other logged in users, the user attempting to log in gets an error message stating that there are no concurrent licenses in the pool available at this time and to try again later. The up-side to concurrent licenses is that they are shared and therefore less costly to buy licenses for users who work on shifts or are just casual users who don t need to stay logged in for long periods of time or their need to log in is not time sensitive or urgent. The down-side is that a user who needs to log in may not be able to in the case where the number of concurrent licenses in the pool is equal to the number of users currently logged in. Another way to think of a named user license is like having a reserved parking space in the parking lot. The named user always has his designated space available whether their car is currently on the lot or not. The rest of the parking spots are like a concurrent user license where first come first served and if a shared spot is open when you arrive, you can park there and if no spaces are open, you get to drive around until someone leaves the lot. Version 2014, Sage 300 ERP users are able to see who is logged in, if they need to approach a user to exit DB Group Consulting Inc Office Locations: Dieppe NB HRM NS TF 866 854-2064 salesdbg@dbgroupinc.ca www.dbgroupinc.ca

Sage BusinessVision Data Migrator Tool Overview Welcome to the Sage BusinessVision data migrator. This application will export various major entities as well as transaction information from the Sage BusinessVision application into CSV (comma separated) files that are designed for use with Sage 300 ERP data import operations. The data migrator utility is compatible with Sage BusinessVision version 2014 and higher. The CSV files that are created by this utility will contain major entity information like the GL Chart of Accounts; Customer Records; Vendor Reports; Part information; as well as part costing and quantity information. The files are organized into several directories, consisting of one for each module. This application relies on the Sage BusinessVision DDF's (data definition files); as such you will be required to install the DDF files into each of the Sage BusinessVision data directories that you would like to use with this utility. NOTE: Not all information from Sage BusinessVision is directly exportable to CSV file data. Some steps will require manual configuration steps to configure Sage 300 ERP with data from Sage BusinessVision DB Group Consulting Inc Office Locations: Dieppe NB HRM NS TF 866 854-2064 salesdbg@dbgroupinc.ca www.dbgroupinc.ca
