    I'm excited that I may actually receive an e-mail from SAGE. They seemed to be able to find my contact information in their vast database(s), when its time to send them money.

    It hope for #Sage that it helps them improve delivery of news and info and if it does, then it should be helpful to our group too. If it's another #Atlas then I'm worried, very worried.

    If this is truly the first step in a process to build a better B2B portal for partners, I wholeheartedly agree that is needed... but the first step needs a second, and a third, before I will believe that is what they are doing.

    Meh, just a big yawn for me.  Fast approaching 20 years with Sage for me.  Hard to get excited about a new partner portal when they still can't get my commissions done correctly nor in a timely basis and that they are still struggling to invoice clients accurately and timely.  Just discovered Sage missed an invoice last August and now they decline to send the commission on the lost revenue.  Never happened in the 17 years I invoiced clients for the renewal.

    Seems so odd that Sage won't pay us commissions on things they've missed paying to us in the past, but if there is an error where they've paid us too much, they'll do a debit memo in a heartbeat.   Plus, when converting clients to Sage 100 Cloud, no one ever mentioned that they would be issuing debit memos for the "unused" portion of the perpetual maintenance agreement that we received commissions on.  I understand it, but I sure would have liked to have known it was going to happen - we might have chosen to convert clients closer to their renewal date rather than the timeframe Sage wanted us to.

    Sage posted a Q&A on the new Partner Hub. I'm still not quite sure what issues it resolves other than being the replacement for MySageSell.

    Q: Is the Sage Partner Hub replacing Sage Sell?

    A: Yes, the Sage Partner Hub site is replacing Sage Sell which has been retired. The Marketing menu in the Sage Partner Hub has a wealth of resources. Self-serve resources are in the Marketing & Sales Toolkit organized by product. Each product page has a 'contact us' that allows partners to email the Product Marketing Manager. The MDF or Campaign tools are also located under the Marketing menu.

    I am excited Sage is making an effort and has plans to evolve this portal. The tools this is replacing never appreciably changed, so we need to stay on top of the status to make sure the evolution occurs.​

    Was no one currently at Sage the last time they decided we needed to go through one portal to get to our regular portal?  Don't get me wrong.  I love the idea of one stop shopping, but I'm an click minimalist.

    For newbies a central hub can help navigate the maze of websites... knowing something exists, and where it is, can be a struggle when starting.
    If I still have to enter my password daily, I'll be skipping the new hub and going straight to the portal when I need it.
