Sage 100

Sage has big news coming on Monday - stay tuned!

Such a tease!!!

Yes, dammit - you can't do that on a Friday! No drinks for you at the 90 Minds reception...

There is a special place in Hell for people who do stuff like this on a Friday.

At least tell us if it's good news or bad news, @JohnnyPabian. Sheesh!

@BethBowers I am sure we will all be drinking more this Summit. @RobertWood It will be good news for some at Summit and not so good for others. It will give you something to think about over the weekend.. Not Public - Sage staff will find out on Monday.

Will there be any Sage staff left on Tuesday?

It's Monday by my calendar. Could use some good news here.

Would me being ""regular"" the past several days constitute as ""good news"", @alanniergarth? Actually I won't be surprised if this ""big news"" gets pushed out, y'know once Sage realizes they made a terrible decision. :)

It was Monday in England a while ago!

Maybe they are announcing that that the UK is leaving the EU....

So ... what's the big news?

Was the big news the virtual summit registration?

It has been delayed it seems.. Urggg

What a surprise!!!

I heard they were going to invest $100 in R&D for Sage 100 in 2017. Basically doubling last year's investment. Was that the news you heard @JohnnyPabian

@PeterWolf - King Snarkmeister

So can we find out what the rumor was for release today now that it isn't happening. Kind of like JobOps and Sage 100 Manufacturing (or should we say Sage 100c Manufacturing)...

@BethBowers - I don't make up the news, I just report it.

The 100 in Sage 100 should mean something.

My interest in the big news yesterday was so high I completely forgot we were waiting for it.

Did I sleep through this news @JohnnyPabian?

Is it the ""BusinessWorks isn't really dead after all"" email I just got? Or did they realize at the last minute that the announcement quoted from an Obama speech and they're having trouble with the rewrite?

The ""Big News"" will be out Thursday in the Sage Sell Flash e-mail. Rumor has it new Sage 100 sales and additions to existing Sage 100 after 9/30/2016 will be gone, i.e. the end of perpetual. I imagine if a customer has Sage 100 and continues to pay maintenance it's OK, but it sure seems like ""forced migration"", Mr. Kelly. No other details yet.

Not really surprising. Sage has figured out there is no good way to force people to subscription except to take away any other alternative....... So sad that no one can figure out how to tell the king that he isn't wearing anything. Time for a tea party reenactment ...

As I stated, it was only a rumor, although there still could be another announcement later today. The important consideration from the promos, specifically the pricing for 100c upgrades, is there may be a limited life for perpetual, especially if a large percentage of the install base upgrade.

Just announced but with multiple deadlines. Ultimately looks like Jan 2017 cutoff.
