Sage News and Discussion

Good example of the confusion that this global naming scheme will cause with Sage. I believe the person is talking about an overseas version of Sage 100 which was apparently just discontinued.

I saw that just recently and was caught off guard at first. Thanks for the clear warning @WayneSchulz that this was the UK product not the US. Do we need to alert our customer's to avoid any confusion, especially if they have any alerts set up for news on Sage 100?

Prediction: The next thing Sage will do is brand everything back (I'm half kidding).

Most of my customers dont' seem to care what Sage calls their product. I don't know even how I'd start to explain that Sage 100 in US is different than Sage 100 in other parts of the country. It's totally confusing and I don't think Sage really thought this through -- yet plenty of VARS brought this up very early in the process.

Couldn't it also be that Sage is discontinuing the UK version, to leave the US version clear running?

Could be but it's very confusing to have the same product names in two countries. Customers assume that the products are the same.

No argument. I just don't know that it is permanent. It does seem that there wouldn't have been too much confusion if they'd named the US version, ""Sage 110."" Just as arbitrary as ""100"", and apparently (because it's not being discontinued) more advanced, justifying the higher number. In some sense, this is another example of grand strategy crippled by inattention to important details. (Choosing the word ""core"" in US product areas is another.)
