Geneva Software - final notice

Geneva is the owner of the Quantum suite of Accounting, Distribution and Manufacturing software modules. Quantum, originally called MCBA Classic, was created for the mini-computer platforms back in the 1970s. It is written in Cobol, the popular development language of that time.

Quantum has been used by customers all over the world during the past 55 years. As of this moment in time, it has run its course and is now deemed to be at "end of life".

Geneva, being the owner, is tasked with sunsetting the Quantum solution in a manner least disruptive to the remaining client base. This is why we announced, last August, our customers have two years to find replacement systems. We are also providing data export programs to help your new vendors migrate the Quantum data to your new systems.

August 2026

A message from Geneva's President:

It was announced last year that Geneva's Quantum support desk will be sunsetting on August 1, 2027. Due to upcoming key employee retirements, and the industry not producing Cobol programmers, I made the decision to give all Quantum customers two years to seek a replacement.

So, basically, one year from now, we will no longer have the personnel in place to respond to your emails and phone calls.

We've been tracking everyone's progress in evaluating and choosing new software. The majority of our clients have either fully transitioned to a new system, are in the process of migrating their Quantum data to a new system or have selected a new software system and are about to begin the migration journey.

For those who have not heeded last year's announcement - a warning. If you are still actively using Quantum after August 1, 2027, you are on your own.

Your Quantum Sub-License Agreements will still be in effect for as long as you wish. This means you can still access Quantum and run reports for as long as the SLA is in effect. But all remaining Support Agreements will be terminated as of August 1, 2027.

Our team is providing data export programs to assist with your transition to a new system. We continue to give guidance through your implementation process and will make available a series of Support Videos on the Geneva Website.

If any of this message is "news to you", I highly recommend you contact us immediately through our contact@genevasoftware.com email address.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Thomas W. Vincent President Geneva Software Company, Inc.

Having a problem with 98,01 Errors on Quantum files?

If you ever see a message on the screen, or in a report, that a file has a 98,01 Error, you will

need to recover that file. Geneva has put together a short video clip showing exactly how

to do that. Click here to view that video and let us know if you need any further assistance.

What can you do about RansomWare attacks?

Unfortunately our world has many bad actors out there attempting to lock your systems down with malware that

encrypts your programs and data files making them completely unusable. These extortionists are out there and are

very active. Of course you should already be taking the obvious and necessary steps of reducing the risk of your

targeting. Steps such as, securing Email Gateways, educating End Users to not open unrecognizable email attachments,

using Network monitoring tools to detect and possibly block such Malware, Keeping regular off-site backups, etc.

One thing Geneva can help our Quantum customers with is to perform periodic "flash backups" of just your Quantum data.

This is a service we provide where we log onto your system, copy your Quantum data and download it to Geneva servers

for safe keeping. Doing this each week minimizes the damage that can be done if your system were ever to be attacked.

If you are attacked, and the Bad Actors encrypted your backups, Geneva can restore all Quantum executables pretty quickly

as well as the last known Flash Backup of your data. To learn more, please email us at contact@genevasoftware.com.
