General Consultant Discussion

During today's Sage meeting I did ask two questions: 

1. Is Sage Summit coming back?
2. Is the reference to Sage 100 SQL for SPC signaling a branding change away from Sage 100 Premium

Concerning Sage Summit: 

Q: What is the status of Sage Summit? Will a customer and partner conference return in 2024 and if so when and where? Thanks

A: Our event strategy focuses on bringing the customer to the heart of everything we do. Going forward that will mean that Transform and Partner Summit will, like this year, continue to be a single flagship event. Event details are underway and more details will be shared when available.

Link to the October 2023 announcement that Partner Summit would move to "Fall 2024" https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kf-Y0tlYEEktIXGM-tgETFL_vd42PBUPBOO_1wFLQfQ/edit

Concerning Sage 100 Premium and my question about whether calling this Sage 100 SQL with reference to availability in the Sage Partner Cloud ( SPC ) signaled a branding change for Sage 100 Premium? 

I have seen the SPP version of Sage 100 Premium referred to as Sage 100 SQL. Does this signal a branding change for the SQL version from Sage 100 Premium ?

Wayne, there is technically not an Advanced or Premium version of Sage 100 in SPP. Those are client-server solutions, and that's not how we deploy in SPP. What we have now in SPP is Sage 100, and Sage 100 with SQL. No advanced or premium designations

Now you know

Yikes!  A brand new architecture of Sage 100, just for SPP/SPC.  That is a bleeding edge I do not want to play with.

What a non-answer.  Either there is a new name or they aren't following branding guidelines.  Can't have both.

I didn't realize Transform had content for Sage 100 users (other than why not come over to the cool kids' software side).

Was it recorded?  I would watch if I could skip through the commercials and only watch the two minutes of important content
