Microsoft RMS End Of Life: Replacement Flowchart

 OK - I know - another post (and video) about Microsoft RMS end of life. This is due to the sheer number of RMS point of sale software users that have been contacting me over the last few weeks.  

I am also working on a video that shows some of the feature and functions in Cloud Retailer and Retail Management Hero that should help you decide whether Cloud Retailer or RMH is a better option for your store.

For now - a flow chart to walk you through the Microsoft Dynamics RMS point of sale software replacement decision:

Quick update that the folks at Retail Management Hero now offer Age Verification and similar features and function for liquor retailers. Contact them at sales@rmhpos.com for more information

Locally Hosted Version of Microsoft Dynamics 365

I don't have a lot of details on this yet, but Microsoft has announced that they are offering a version of Dynamics 365 that can be hosted locally instead of being run as a cloud based application. No real reason was given but I suspect that a lot of retailers already have IT equipment in place and would prefer not to have a cloud based application.

I'll update as more information is provided to me - as a side note, I'm still receiving a 50/50 split when it comes to retailers wanting cloud based point of sale versus locally hosted/run point of sale.  This 50/50 split has been holding steady for 2017.
