Sage Partner Hub - First Impressions

  • 1.  Sage Partner Hub - First Impressions

    Posted 07-22-2019 16:27
    ​I requested access the same day the Hub was live, so I have access today. I obviously had greater expectations for this than what I see.

    There are 5 categories to select from:
    1. Logos & Brand Guidelines
    2. Marketing Webinars
    3. Product Enablement
    4. Product Roadmaps
    5. Marketing Blogs

    1, 2 and 5 are strictly marketing-related, so I can access those later when I have time. I thought Product Enablement would have many of the details that Sage Sell had/has. It includes:
    1. Sage 300cloud
    2. Sage Business Cloud Accounting
    3. Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management (someone didn't get the memo about "X3")
    4. Sage Business Cloud People

    Hmmm . . . Are they trying to tell us something about Sage 100cloud?

    Let's try roadmaps and see how current those are. It links to Sage Sell roadmaps!

    This is definitely a waste of time for now. I'm just going back to Sage Sell until they pull the plug on it.

    I'm not surprised.
    I think MySageSell is supposed to retire in August 2019  so there will likely be a forced migration

    I wonder if Sage is going to stop updating MySageSell which will force users to wait to get their authorization/login for the new Hub? With all the consolidation happening in the channel people who don't deal directly with Sage will have to wait for the login/password to filter down.

    I have been referred to Michelle Pickering who is the​ lead for the Partner Hub. Obviously what I have on my screen is not what is supposed to be there. I hope she gets back to me today. What else could she be working on?

    Apparently I was setup on the old Partner Marketing Hub, and not the Partner Hub. So for anyone not on yet, wait until an adult invites you instead of just clicking on "request" buttons!​

    If you can compare and let us know if the old MySageSell is still being updated. I can't tell if it's summertime slowness or if Sage has shifted all efforts to the partner hub.

    I have specifically looked at the Marketing item/tab, which also includes Sales-related materials. What is included is definitely recent and up to date, so I would doubt they are touching MySageSell. I have a call with our PAM this afternoon, so I can confirm that, although sometimes the PAMs are last to find out.

    The Sales item/tab​ has features to easily add opportunities and to register leads, which was not something that was as obvious or as easily to do on the Partner Portal, if at all.

    Please note that you will not see the Marketing or Sales tabs unless you indicate those on the Roles for your profile. Yes, you can have multiple roles.

    Under Sales, if you request an order or quote, it still links to Larry Sunderlin's Smartsheet. That means it's still a manual process.

    Manual orders / quote process, by a "world class SaaS company"... suuuuure.

    It doesn't appear MySageSell is being updated which is bad news for anyone who needs to wait to get an access code.

    They are definitely NOT updating Sage Sell.  That was stated on the webinar to introduce us to the Partner Hub, and I think they repeated it yesterday on that All Hand call that was absolutely dreadful.  Like John, I did not receive an invitation.  I have requested a login (before I read John's post, ugh), but I also sent an email to my PAM and Channel Partner contact.  I may try Michelle directly as well.  Sage is awesome!

    It appears MySageSell is EOL today with the login to access old info disabled August 16

    It should not take long to get an invite and access if you have the right connections.​
