Deprecation notice for Sterling Order Management System Application Console
The Sterling Order Management System Application Console user interface is deprecated on 12 December 2022.
Why is it deprecated?
Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer in June 2022 without a clear forward compatible browser for applications. Customers can use the Microsoft Edge browser in Internet Explorer (IE) Mode, but IBM does not view this as a viable long-term alternative.
