Forecast 5 Features

No more Sage Winforecast

Date Published

Sage Winforecast is dead!

Quite often we hear “If it’s not broken, why fix it?”. But do you say that about your car? Or do you service your car to get more benefit out of it? Of course, you look after your car. 


Then why are you not looking after your most valuable data?

After the success of Sage Winforecast version 4, Sage decided to change direction for a version 5 replacement and developed and released Sage Financial Forecasting. Unfortunately, this replacement did not measure up and Sage Winforecast remained stationary at version 4, with no development. When both products were announced as obsolete in 2012, with no support in 2014, users were left without a quality budgeting and forecasting tool.


Forecast 5 was designed to fill the void that Sage Winforecast left behind and cleverly named Forecast 5 to replace the missing version of Sage Winforecast. Not only has Forecast 5 replaced Sage Winforecast but the increased functionality will impress you! 


Don’t get caught out with Sage Winforecast and risk losing your data completely! Make the move to a secure future with Forecast 5.
