General Consultant Discussion

Anybody have any screenshots of this new 'X3 web interface'?

I was in Lisbon at the X3 conference, but usually in the back of the rooms so my photos are no good. It's all HTML5 now, responsive design (aka - deployable on any device, any browser). I will say this - in the customer session after the Version 7 demo there was a spontaneous and rousing standing ovation. I know, I know, they were standing on the trampled bodies of those who've been paying Sage 100/500 maintenance all these years. It's a dynamite product. Unfortunately I see no new evidence that Sage would or could point any of that downstream.

You say 'downstream' but doesn't X3 and 100 come pretty close in cost when you consider module parity. (i.e. a distribution only scenario w/o CRM)

By downstream I mean target buyer. You can't do X3 without an IT department. It's another reason Sage needs to urgently get X3 to market as a hosted solution, something they're promising, but I don't know the go live dates for that.

Mark - this has some good shots of the Version 7 screens on tablet and smart phone. Sage is promising that most X3 tasks can be rendered to a mobile device format in less than one hour. http://www.sageerpx3.com/#/video/48/go-where-your-business-takes-you/

About how many server instances are required for X3 including CRM support and web options?
