Sage News and Discussion

Based upon job postings and session listings at Summit 2016, Sage appears to be developing a Salesforce Community for global customers and partners. My guess is that this will run concurrent with the present systems and not replace them. Long term, I think it's possible that Sage is setting up this second global class of partner and customer as an easier way to facilitate a future sale of a portion of the company. https://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/115667895?refId=88328771461666865824&trk=ssd_jobs_res_name&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A88328771461666865824%2CVSRPtargetId%3A115667895%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary

This is not new information. Sage began discussing their new Global Partner Program in the run up to, and during, Sage Summit 2015 - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/were-re-imagining-way-we-work-partners-alan-laing. Sadly, most of the people mentioned in that post are gone from Sage. A pretty good indication that they weren't fired (or why would Sage have named them in such a prominent place).
