Sage Intelligent Reporting laid to rest - 26 Sep 2008
“We’ve become aware of some compatibility issues between Sage 50 Intelligent Reporting and other software,” Ford wrote. “As it’s just not practical for us to solve these issues or develop the software further in its current form, we’ve taken the difficult decision to withdraw Sage 50 Intelligent Reporting from sale from 24 September 2008 and to halt development of the new version of this software.”
