Microsoft Windows 7 is officially launched in the UK today! We've been testing what looks to be an incredible release of the hugely successful operating system for workstations and laptops.
If you're thinking of changing your organisation's operating system to Windows 7, and if you’re using CRM, Business Management, Accounting and Finance software, add-on applications or other solutions supplied by Concentrix, we strongly recommend you check the compatibility with Windows 7 before upgrading to the new system.
What Works With Windows 7?
As a guide, here’s a list of software applications supplied by Concentrix which the manufacturers have said are supported on Windows 7:
- Spindle Professional 2009 SP2
- Credit Hound v326
- Credit Guardian 1.01.2
- AVG Free 8.5
- Sophos Endpoint Security & Control 9.0
What Isn't Supported?
The following software applications supplied by Concentrix are not currently (as of 22nd October 2009) supported by their respective manufacturers on Windows 7:
- Sage CRM (All versions – version 7.0 will be supported on release)
- Sage Line 100 (All versions)
- Sage MMS (All versions)
- Sage 200 (All versions)
- Sage 50 (All lines)
- GoldMine Standard Edition (All versions)
- GoldMine Corporate Edition (All versions)
- GoldMine Premium Edition (All versions)
Can I Use Non-Supported Software on Windows 7?
Items not currently supported may work with Windows 7. However, because the manufacturer states that an item is unsupported, we can’t guarantee it. We will of course try and help but, if there's a related problem, we'll unfortunately be unable to progress any issue with the manufacturer until Windows 7 is supported by them.
With that in mind, we have been able to successfully run the following unsupported applications on a Windows 7 test environment:
- Sage CRM 6.1, 6.2
- Sage 200 CRM
- Sage 200 2009
- GoldMine Premium Edition 8.0.3, 8.5
- GoldMine Standard Edition 6.7
Need Further Information about Windows 7 compatibility?
If you’re a Concentrix customer using any of the CRM software, CRM add-on applications, business management or ERP software supplied by us, and are thinking about changing to Windows 7 and are in any doubt about compatibility, please don’t hesitate to contact the Concentrix support desk.
