General Consultant Discussion

Psst - Sage UK is quietly laying out the product road map for NA. Hopefully you are not a Non-Profit, Construction or Non-Integrated CRM consultant....

US conspicuous by absence on list of ""local products with large market share"" that will continue getting investments - UK, France, Canada, Brazil. On the flip side, the sunsetting they have actually implemented (ie: sage pro), has not been overly aggressive. I suspect most products will stay in ""harvest"" mode for some time yet, to protect maintenance revenue.

I've noticed that Sage NA typically does not response immediately to what these slide decks display. However they do eventually respond. One example is the sales of premium support. Sage UK had that in one of their earnings release / investor days -- and it took NA about a year to year and 1/2 to implement - but they did..

The ""Focus on Strongest Partners"" item is interesting.

Does Sage have any investors in NA? Difficult to tell from the slide deck!
