General Consultant Discussion

Is anyone planning on attending this session? All of the PPACA attention seems to be coming from the Abra side of the house. I've heard nothing about the plans for Sage 100. http://na.sage.com/sage-summit/sessions/health-care#.UaTooNLVB8F

This is too long for me. I'm not sure that I'd get more out of sitting through 8 hours than finding and reading info on my own.

Sage says it will be a nonpartisan overview. I'd rather hear @MarkChinsky present the session!

In all seriousness, it does seem to be too long. Although customers are starting to worry more and more about it.

Ha! If they just present it honestly, I think the truth will speak for itself in terms of what a turd it is

I have a client that was really getting upset with Sage because nothing has come out on the Sage 100 side on PPACA reporting. I contacted Betsy Quis and she went up the line and here is her response: ""I heard back from our Product Manager about this & we will be taking what ABRA is going to do (which is releasing late summer/fall) as not all requirements are finalized. We will see once finalized and may be able to create a Crystal Report in order to have the required reporting. In addition, we have a committee across Sage North America for compliance so we are staying on top of it and when new regulations come into effect we always have a team on it, and we react accordingly.

I don't know the details of this but since ""Sage Marketplace Live Expo"" seems to be scattered throughout the session description it seems logical to conclude that some portion could be a pitch for Sage product(s).

@JaneCavanaugh, during the HRMS partner call last week, Sage talked about the 2014 release for late Summer. Reporting (or lack thereof) is only part of the problem. The HRMS folks are also working on Sage Healthcare Analyses but who knows whether or not it will work with 100.

Has Sage produced a workable payroll integration for Sage 100 ERP? Ever?
