General Consultant Discussion

I have a VI setup for a Floral Software enhancement. He has a client in Canada that has outgrown his entry solution. Am I asking for trouble by implementing Sage 100 in Canada? I just don't know if Sage100 has any position in Canada. Signed FarAwayInVirginia

Sage 100 not significant in Canada, but we are based in Canada and have a great client base. Sage 100 works well for Canadian sales taxes. DSD's Multicurrency often required. And there is no Sage Canadian payroll.

In addition to Robert's comments, Sage doesn't push 100 here (not even when Summit visited Toronto!), but it works fine for almost everything. On top of no Payroll... EFT is done differently (not using the ACH feature), and for a Quebec based customer you may want to talk about the language enhancement from DSD too.

All Great information. Thank you VERY much!

I have implemented SAGE 100 in the UK with just a few work arounds

Don't feel neglected, @RobertWhite and @KevinMoyes . Sage doesn't push 100 in the US either. Just look at their web site. Lots of mention of Sage Live, X3 and others but you really have to dig to see anything about 100. I had a demo of Sage 100 a month ago and the prospect asked me why there was nothing on the Sage site about 100. Tough question to answer.

Or apparently Sage 50 either. I had a Sage referral for 100 that turned out that they really wanted Sage 50. So I sent the lead back to Sage and told them prospect REALLY wanted Sage 50. Please have someone call. It was a slam dunk sale. Call and take the order. Two weeks later, prospect called and asked there was anything I could do as Sage hadn't called back......

If you want to put yourself in the shoes of an old CPA who only remembers the name ""MAS 90"", google that. You will be taken directly to the Sage 100c page(s). I was impressed, because that is exactly what the searches would be. We cannot expect to immediately have Sage 100c pop up on the home page, because that is not their marketing priority. They built the site around prospects searching, not based on someone knowing the name Sage 100 and looking for that on the site. If you also search for Sage 100 or Sage 100c, it goes to the same page.

@JeffSchwenk If Connie Certusi was still there, she would have personally called back, because that is really all she knew - Sage 50.

(Sage 50 Canada is completely different than Sage 50 US).
