Last year, Sage announced that eBusiness Manager and eBusiness Web Services would no longer be offered to new Sage 100 customers. Luckily, there’s an alternative platform Sage recommends to businesses that want to offer their customers a self-service portal to check order status, get shipping updates, make online payments, and more. Here’s a closer look.
Before reviewing the alternative customer portal platform for Sage 100, As of May 1, 2023, eBusiness Manager and eBusiness Web Services is no longer offered or sold to new Sage 100 customers. However, customers with existing subscriptions to eBusiness Manager or eBusiness Web Services will continue to receive support and are also able to renew their subscriptions, ensuring continuity of service for those already using these offerings.
