Interesting factoid from Sage Summit Atlanta - the Sage 500 installed base number 1,000

I have no idea what the average maintenance -- so let's use $6,000 

That's a $6,000,000 product line

I'd be shocked if Sage were spending over $2,000,000 a year for salary, R&D and allocated expenses

That's a nice profit from a system that doesn't get much of the spotlight

I definitely could be low on my estimate as I just took a wild guess on the amount.

Wayne – I think your renewal numbers are way low!  We have two clients whose maintenance on Sage 500 is $40,000 per year...each!  And no, I definitely don't think they're getting their money's worth and haven't been for years.  And I also think that's the reason Sage hasn't sunsetted Sage 500 yet – they're pulling in too much money around it.
