Sybiz Vision Classic End of Life

The rebuilt Sybiz Vision is not a simple update to our Classic program but a brand new, future-proof ERP solution.

Annual releases have introduced significant new functionality such as CRM, Service Management and mobile integration. However, improvements and new features are added all throughout the year. You can see all of the incredible enhancements and new features introduced in each release of Sybiz Vision from the What’s New page.

Many users have found the new Sybiz Vision has reduced the need for multiple systems, thereby reducing costs and improving accessibility.

And with the new Sybiz Vision also available in the cloud, you can truly take your business to new frontiers.

You can see a brief overview of the standard functionality available in Sybiz Vision but the real power of this incredible ERP solution comes alive when paired with your business. Our Product Roadmap has also given users an insight into what to expect from their ERP solution in the coming years.

Accessing new functionality isn’t the only reason to keep your business technology up to date. Updating also means staying on top of hardware requirements, meeting compliance regulations, and protecting yourself against cybersecurity threats. Properly securing the financial solution that drives your operational performance every day should be a major consideration for every business.

Furthermore, the increasingly outdated technology that powers Sybiz Vision Classic is not fully compatible with the latest Microsoft operating systems, including Windows 10, and may lead to problems if running on new hardware.

Earlier versions of Sybiz Vision Classic (up to version 11) have been undergoing a gradual process of deprecation since 2016. The deprecation of Sybiz Vision Classic version 12 will be the final stage in this process and began with the end of any future development (bug fixes, legislative updates, new functionality, etc.) on 31 December 2020 and the end of support on 31 December 2021.
