Beginning February 2020, Sage 100cloud Manufacturing ( also known as Job Ops ) will rebrand as Sage Operations Management. 

Why Is Sage 100cloud Manufacturing Changing Names?

Later in Q2 2020 Sage will release two new Sage 100cloud Industry Solutions:

• Sage 100cloud for Distribution
• Sage 100cloud for Manufacturing.

The name change to Sage Operations Management will help to avoid confusion between the product and our new bundled solutions.

Additionally, Sage 100cloud Manufacturing is a powerful product that can provide significant value to businesses in many industries outside of manufacturing (ex. professional and field services). Changing the name to Sage Operations Management will allow Sage to more easily position and sell into a much-expanded market.

Changes to the product name will be released in conjunction with Sage's March product release for Sage 100 / Sage 100cloud.

Watch your email for an invitation to an upcoming webinar outlining these changes.

Although this info appears to hint that Sage 100cloud for Distribution and Sage 100cloud for Manufacturing might be new products it appears they will be bundles as discussed at the recent Sage ThriveOn partner kickoff meetings.  I have not seen any firm details on what might be included so this is likely subject to change until final release.

Sage 100cloud Manufacturing is being renamed Sage Operations Management in order to clear the way for something to be called Sage 100cloud for Manufacturing?

Do I have that correct?

Yes.
And Sage 100cloud for Manufacturing is actually just a bundle of things that already exist.

IMO, this is similar to Sage's " Project Diamond " ( remember that? ) which was the precursor to Sage Enterprise Edition ( another bundle of existing products ).

There will be a separate price for these two product bundles and something that is interesting is that Sage talked about ongoing support from Sage not being required in the bundle. 

The example given is that the customer could purchase the original bundle ( which includes support ) and upon renewal could elect to drop Sage support. Before you get too excited by that option there's the question of whether this is overall a better $$ deal for customers. We will have to wait to see the details. 

I am not sure whether initially there will be a migration option for existing customers.

There is a webinar today on future Sage 100cloud developments where they may touch on this

I'll be on that webinar. As usual I'm counting on Sage to make everything perfectly clear and logical. :O

When the software was JobOps and it was "Make, Install, Service", we had little issue selling this to non-manufacturing organizations. Many of the current users of this software are not traditional manufacturers. Once this was renamed to Sage Manufacturing, we had to explain that it fit other business models.​ Operations Management to me is a return to the roots of JobOps, so I welcome this name change.
