Description

The Authority has a requirement for support and maintenance of its current finance system, Sage 1000, for an additional two years to allow enough time to procure and implement a new accounting system. While Sage 1000 will come to its end of life in 2029, Sage will cease to provide updates to the system after December 2024. After this date, system maintenance will only be provided by our support and maintenance provider, Datel.
