In June 2020 support for free Magento 1 will be withdrawn, leaving over 200,000 companies without an e-commerce platform.
Fortunately, ODSNet is a full featured e-commerce solution that integrates fully with your back office – and it’s a fraction of the cost of Magento Starter or Professional.
Magento have announced that support for their free version of Magento will no longer be offered from June 2020, which is set to cause big problems for over 200,000 companies, placing their e-commerce websites at serious risk of failure.
Once support is withdrawn there will be no further updates, security patches or extensions for Magento 1 so it will no longer be possible to be up to date with the latest customer and security requirements. It means you will get performance issues if your website uses modules, plus with no security updates your website is at serious risk of being compromised which could put you in breach of data protection legislation.
It’s therefore vital that these companies begin the process of migrating to a new e-commerce platform.
You could of course move to a paid for version of Magento, such as Starter or Professional – but these are expensive, and in fact there’s an alternative to Magento available with more features, better support, AND a fraction of the cost.
The On Demand Solutions team have deep experience in e-commerce development, migration and integration, and have our own comprehensive e-commerce solution ODSNet – which not only has more features than Magento, but comes at a fraction of the cost.
ODSNet has real multi-channel capability, rich B2B e-commerce features and personalisation. Plus it integrates fully with your back-office system meaning the information on your website will always be completely up to date. Whereas Magento’s support is community based, the quality of our support is second-to-none, and the team will be with you every step of the way to ensure a successful transition to your new eCommerce solution.
