  • 1.  Has the Revolving (?) Exit Door Started???

    Posted 09-30-2020 19:30
    Good evening, Fellow Sage Resellers from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea. Let's go to press.  (Imagine a random telegraph key being pressed rapidly)

    Breaking news on the annual Sage employee shuffle - A highly placed Sage employee has revealed to me that the annual purge has started!  Today at 10 AM PST, many of the affected employees gathered round a conference call to hear the terrible news - they no longer had a role in the future of this world class cloud software company.  Yes, that is right.  Wasn't even the end of the Sage year and they were being told they were history.  Didn't matter if the resellers under your wing were breaking personal sales achievement records.  Gone, gone, gone!!

    Have you heard from your Sage Sales team since noon today?  If not, they may have been on the chipping block!

    Has the Intacct deck chair rearrangement begun?

    Waiting for the official announcement.

    I'm taking calls on this. It sounds like mostly the account management/sales teams were impacted. If so, it's probably part of Sage's strategy to consolidate and remove duplication from their midmarket Intacct and Sage efforts.
