Technology is constantly updating and evolving to create newer editions with more advanced features to help bring society even further into the modern age. With the advancement of software however, also comes the elimination of programs that used to be at the peak of their respective fields. Phones often come to mind as pieces of technology that are phased out just a couple short years after being introduced and while it doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone involved with the industry point of sale software is not immune to these updates either. The industry has even recently seen it’s latest casualty, in that Microsoft RMS is end of life and will end sales and mainstream support in July 2016.

There has been a few conflicting reports regarding the future of Microsoft RMS, but it’s now official that the product will be discontinued. For more information on the exact dates and other specifics check out the microsoft website here: support.microsoft.com. You can also find more information about the specific lifecycle terms here: support.microsoft.com.

As a result of Microsoft discontinuing RMS any product enhancements, updates, or fixes will only be an option for owners who maintain a paid annual maintenance agreement with Microsoft, which will lead to substantial costs for a product that will no longer be a priority at Microsoft.

With this in mind the only course of action that makes sense for both, existing business owners who currently use Microsoft RMS and prospective owners who are looking for the right point of sale solution for their blossoming business is to seek out other point of sale solutions, such as Cafe Cartel Systems.
