Yes, I know few people used the thing, but this is a harbinger of what cloud/saas users have to look forward to. :
1) When premise application reaches the point of low unit sales or profitability, companies can just cut way back on R&D and still slowly bleed off maintenance as we've seen with MAS90 for many years. When a SaaS product is deemed no longer profitable, there is still a substantial ongoing cost to keep it hosted, running, backed up, supported etc.
2) When the premise app. finally 'dies', even if the company files a sudden Chapter 7, your program can continue to run for years or even decades. Worst case if it loses OS compatibility, you run it virtualized. When a SaaS vendor goes belly up, its instant annihilation, often little or no access to your data, and you need to find, purchase, data convert, , implement, train and go live with a new ERP system in weeks at the most as most companies can't survive without their ERP systems more than a month and stay solvent.
File this away as a prescient warning that a day of reckoning is coming to saas.
