Sage 100c 2017 is scheduled to release 10/24. One week away (anyone heard anything different?). And we have no what's new guide, no channel wide email from Sage, no webinar to introduce new features (they did one webinar about a month ago with Fixed Assets which was poorly advertised and poorly attended).
Perhaps, once you have your EU all on subscription and can end their service if they stop paying, you no longer need any of this?
