Business Intelligence Options (Stuart Blumenthal has expressed interest in doing this) -- I think he has done some work here developing something that MicroAccounting offers - he demoed to me and seemed like he had done some research about what other packages do. Would probably need to have conversation with Stuart to be sure that he wasn't giving a sales pitch. Also this could conflict with BizNet if Stuart gave a sales pitch.

Sage 100 premium tips and tricks

Kind of goes with Wayne's Road Ahead but an update on the legacy to business framework conversion, e.g. what new features have they/are they including? Conversely, what have they eliminated or 'fixed'? (Sage)

Success stories on using related (preferrably 90 Minders) consultants in customer work.

Business dev, marketing, sales. the topic is generally attractive, but I don't have a clear idea on a relevant focus for MOTM.

Document management, pro and cons of the different products and what customers are using it for.

Disaster recovery :the different products available and potential income for us. Yes don't laugh, I know Mark will jump at this ,but saw that Raberta had a product also and since so many clients are having to restore , thought it might be time to get involved with suggesting to clients what products are available.

Scripting - when to use a script verses a modification. Update on new types or samples of scripts.

Sage tech - discuss paperless office issues, electronic delivery - email history

Business Process reviews best practices, why, how, and when its most needed with samples and templates.

Excel session - tips and tricks

Sage payroll alternative that don't triple a customers cost

Given this surprise announcement from Sage - I wonder whether the topic of diversification wouldn't again be appropriate. I think it's late to try to tell people to go sell another integrated accounting solution but maybe wise to talk about reporting options outside Sage. Not that someone like BizNet or Renovo can't also hike prices quickly - but some diversification seems like a very good idea.

Late to diversify with another publisher in what way, @WayneSchulz ?

In terms of new sales . At least I have not seen enough reports of people selling more new deals from a competitor yet. If that story is there we should tell it at MOTM.

As a follow up to last year's session: The Best Business Improvements We've Made (panelist TBD)

I believe Jerry suggested something similar - What changes have we made in the past year?

That makes sense. He was on that panel. It was a little lopsided without a moderator.
