    Posted 11-18-2023 15:01

    Sage issued an updated roadmap on 11-17-2023. This likely replaces the prior one of 10-26-2023.  Please note that this latest roadmap is listed as internal only.

    Is it just me or is there really something in the fine print above that screams "DELAY YOUR RETIREMENT PLANS" as there really are EXCITING Sage 100 enhancements in the pipeline just beyond the horizon.....  Disney has quite a few interesting job opportunities for retirees (Park Trash Picker Upper, substitute Barbershop Quartet harmonizer, etc).

    Asking for a "friend".

    @Jeff Schwenk  Aren't you excited about the "64-bit default" installation?

    I think it's it's just me.

     It seems like many of the non-maintenance features have been on the roadmap for a few years.

    I remember seeing full product search on a roadmap about 5 years BC ( Before Covid ).... and the other items are so vague that they could be just about anything and still check the box as complete (improved audit trail, CRM integration improvements )

    Two years to refresh demo data?!?!?

    Sage Network integration and Sage 100 mobile app - Lucy has two new footballs...

    Full product search is an awesome feature.  I was also surprised to see mobile app (phase 1) in 2025 since they already had a phase 1 if I remember correctly.  The roadmap definitely looks like maintenance mode with mostly infrastructure and compliance.

    Sage Mobile App........  That sounds familiar.  Didn't we just see a MD demo that was mobile app oriented?  The demo left the impression that the future was a lot closer than Sage is letting on.  Why are there multiple fronts on this initiative?  Seems like a waste of resources.  Just saying....

    Full product search has been around from many years.  Why not license the code from XKzero and be done with it?

    I am submitting these Roadmap questions as part of today's Development Roundtable.

    • What is involved with Sage Network Integration? What is this, and what will customers get as a result?
    • Why did bank feeds updates get dropped from Roadmap? What were they going to provide?
    • Sage Inventory Manager was to be integrated in 2025. What is an equivalent for us to use?
    • How is Futrli integration (2025) different from Sage Network Integration?
    • Is AI helping with our Providex coding?

    Does everyone know about the new "AR Automation" program that Sage recently purchased?  I don't think I've seen anything from Sage about it – but my Partner Manager at Sage told me about last time we talked.  Still haven't seen anything from Sage talking about it – other than a flyer on it that he sent to me.  Just wondering what is happening with that product, what it does, and how it will be promoted.

    I think you're talking about Lockstep, which Sage bought in August 2022. I believe it forms the foundation of what Sage offers as the Sage Network.

    I believe the race is on to offer add-on products that add value where the customer is willing to pay a per transaction fee. Sage network seems like it's going to be the starting point. I also noticed that Sage is advertising on Linkedin for developers to create a "new platform" around Sage Network. 

    I think Sage was trying to develop something similar to this internally. They'd been talking about a similar concept for the past few years but didn't seem to have anything concrete to show. The purchase of Lockstep gave them a ready-to-go platform.

    You're right Wayne – it is Lockstep!  I couldn't remember the name, and the pamphlet I have doesn't have a name in it either!

    It's on the Sage.com for Intacct and Sage 50. You should ask about that status for us today. It seems to me it should be part of the Sage Network functionality?
