Sage 100

JobOps Acquisition Press Release Apparently the press release on the acquisition by Anania & Associates was only distributed in New England, but it did go out on March 24, making this ""official"" as of March 10. Here is the link to the release: http://ananiaandassociates.ananiamedia.com/anania-associates-investment-company-llc-acquires-synergistic-software-solutions-llc/

Now that a month has passed, has there been any signs of positive changes yet?

Chuck has moved out. xD

Nice John! :)

Well, I heard a wild assed rumor the other day. They may ACTUALLY be looking at a multi-bin enhancement to JO.... Yes, be still my heart. But then we have heard rumors in the past about how Sage was going to improve the Sage 100 line.....

Gone are the days of only one big initiative per year or two. Yes, multi-bin is definitely a high priority. At the same time we also may see a rewrite of scheduling, including full framework.

This story appears to have gotten a little more interesting. According to this press release of 5-9-14 , Sage partners Baesis and RKL are both partnering with Anania on the Synergistic acquisition. I have no idea to what level. Since VARS typically are cash poor I suspect they are lending some type of technical expertise though the press release does not give much detail on what that might be.

This is the first I have seen of this, and I have no idea what it means.

I did send an e-mail to Ryan Rick asking if there's another certification level I missed to become a Premier JobOps Consultant or if there's only one of those.

Hollywood is falling behind in a hype contest???:-)

I am skipping over the premier designation and using ""the nation's supreme JobOps consultant"". :-D

John, I think ""Premier"" means travels the most miles, and complains the least (about JO)...(not my Press Release, I don't need the attention!)
