Sage 200 Manufacturing is officially bowing out.
As of 31 December 2025, there will be no more support, no more updates, and no more lifelines. For Irish manufacturers still running on the old system, that deadline is coming in hot.
So — are you ready? Or are you crossing your fingers and hoping for the best?
In this article, we break down what the End-of-Life for Sage 200 Manufacturing means, why it matters, and what to do now to avoid a serious case of operational chaos.
What Does “End-of-Life” Actually Mean?
Here’s the reality: when Sage 200 Manufacturing goes dark, it’s not just a label change.
It means:
🚫 No technical support (not even the “best endeavours” kind)
🚫 No updates, no patches, no security fixes
🚫 Increased vulnerability to system failures, compatibility issues, and operational risk
🚫 Zero inclusion in future Sage 200 releases — starting with 2025 R2 (expected Autumn 2025)
In short? You’ll be running unsupported software on borrowed time. And that’s not the kind of thrill anyone wants in their manufacturing workflows.
What Happens If You Do Nothing?
A few not-so-fun facts:
- Your entire Sage 200 system may become unstable or un-upgradable
- Security risks skyrocket — no patches, no guarantees
- Custom fixes become time-consuming (and costly)
- Compliance headaches may follow if you’re audited
Still on the fence? Here’s the kicker: this isn’t a “someday” problem. With only months to go, manufacturers need a game plan now.
🚀 Say Hello to CIM 200 — The Smart, Seamless Successor
CIM 200 isn’t just a patch or a workaround. It’s a full-featured, fully supported modern manufacturing solution — purpose-built for Sage 200 Professional users.
It looks and feels familiar (yes, your team will feel at home), but delivers a whole new level of control, visibility, and efficiency.
CIM 200 Includes:
🔧 Stock Control
🔧 Bill of Materials (BOM)
🔧 Works Orders
🔧 Planning
🔧 Shop Floor Data Capture
🔧 Graphical Web-Based Scheduler
The scheduler tool? Pure magic. It lets you plan production around real-world availability — no more clashing shifts, out-of-sequence tasks, or mysterious calendar chaos. You can drag, drop, lock, and tweak in real time — from anywhere.
Migration Doesn’t Have to Be a Nightmare
We get it. System migrations can feel like open-heart surgery for your business. But the CIM 200 Migration Utility makes it almost too easy.
Here’s how it works:
1. Agree on a go-live time (usually Friday night)
2. Stop working in Sage 200 Manufacturing
3. CIM 200 consultant migrates your data
4. Logs checked, reports run, data verified
5. Start work in CIM 200 Monday morning — with everything intact
No headaches. No re-entry training camps. Just a smarter system that works from day one.
