End of Support for Syncing in Bp Allied
Microsoft has notified Best Practice Software of the end of support for the .Net syncing framework, used in Bp Allied’s synchronisation function. The end of support means that this framework will cease to receive functionality improvements, vulnerability patching, and security updates from Microsoft.
Due to the end of Microsoft support, Best Practice Software will end support for the Bp Allied synchronisation feature on 30 September 2022. After this time, Bp AlliedSupport will no longer be able to assist practices regarding the syncing functionality in Bp Allied. The synchronisation feature will be disabled in a future program update.
Best Practice Software recommend that practices who currently use the syncing functionality get in touch with our Sales Team to discuss what this change may mean for your practice and alternatives.
