90 Minds Community

Another good article summarizing Summit. There's not a lot of questioning of the strategy and there's a typo in the article where the author writes about going after Sage's 95,000 SMB customers -- she really means 95,000 Salesforce SMB subscribers. Sage thinks the addressable market for Sage Live is 4 million customers and if they grab 1 percent that would be 40,000. Sage currently has about 115,000 Sage One customers and has set a target of 1 million.

Yes, a great commentary. Laurie McCabe is consistently quite good. An interesting data point for those considering how to position ourselves over 5 years: ""SMBs rank ""Figuring out how different technology solutions can help my business"" as one of their top three technology challenges in SMB Group's SMB Routes to Market surveys.
