MarketLive ending support for Version 4

I just returned from the MarketLive Summit at Half Moon Bay, CA. The venue was lovely, but the mood was mixed. By April 2009, MarketLive will end support for Version 4 of its platform. Nearly half of its 150 customers now face an upgrade or move off of the platform.

Version 5 has been available since 2006, and the upgrade to get current is a costly and complex endeavor. Of course, telling clients they must move “up or out” by its very nature forces everyone to at least consider “out.” I met with many MarketLive clients at the event who are indeed considering alternatives. 

I’m scheduling an executive briefing with MarketLive to gather more details. Stay tuned.

    We are one of MarketLive’s customer in the same boat. We are also looking at alternatives. Any buzz at the conference as to what the alternatives might be?
