Magento 1 ongoing support

Are you using the Magento CMS?  Are you confused about the Magento 1 ongoing support? There are rumours flying around that Magento will no longer be supporting the Magento 1 platform from November this year.  However this is not the case, and we received the following communication from them.

Hi folks,

I’d like to directly address some misconceptions we’re hearing about Magento.

Magento stands behind our customers and will never leave a customer behind – you can rest assured that we have your back at every turn. Magento 1 has been and will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future. We have no intention of denying access to our world-class software and know your business relies on Magento to drive growth and differentiation for your brand.

Magento 2 is an outstanding upgrade to a world-class commerce system, and includes capabilities that improve site performance, provide better visibility into business results, and drive differentiated omnichannel commerce experiences. We are confident that every merchant will benefit from moving to Magento 2, and look forward to seeing you upgrade when the time is right for you.

Lastly, we are committing to a minimum 18-month notice before we make any changes to our support levels.  If you are not currently receiving communications from Magento, please sign up to receive information on upgrades and announcements.

If you are using Magento and would like more information about this, or would like to look at upgradings to Magento 2 please contact us.
