The legacy systems will always be out there to be supported - whether it's officially from ACI or from some other third party.

There is a continual rise in migrations from BASE24 to BASE24-eps - most customers are waiting for the functionality to be built out. From a software quality point of view - I don't agree that it is a piece of S**t - it is far from great but it is certainly not the worst. It has got better with age - and will (hopefully) continue to do so.

Most people who criticise BASE24-eps have either:

* Never used it
* Used an early version (4.x) or earlier
* Work for a competitor

Most current customers are relatively happy using BASE24-eps and will continue to do so for many years to come.
