It is very important for any current Adobe Business Catalyst customers to read this information immediately, as this will affect your website.
“Adobe is committed to delivering exceptional software and services to our customers. It’s in our nature to innovate and try new things, and it was in this spirit that we acquired Business Catalyst in 2009. As we re-focus on products that broadly provide our customers with the most value, Adobe is announcing the end of development for Business Catalyst as of March 26th, 2018. New sites will no longer be available for purchase starting with June 18th, 2018.
Adobe will stop hosting existing sites on Business Catalyst on March 26th, 2020 2021. Adobe encourages customers to download their data and migrate to other systems well before March 26th, 2020 2021. Detailed how-to information and assistance is available. Customers’ data will be retained by Adobe until March 26th, 2020 2021, after which date the data will be deleted. Data retention is for the sole purpose of allowing customers to export their data and transfer to another platform.” – Adobe Business Catalyst

Customers with a website on a WebMarketing or WebCommerce plan will need to have their website rebuilt on an alternative platform.
Please contact us immediately with your preferred action as Adobe will discontinue the service and deletion of data will occur from the platform.
