We tried having someone on our team look at the Power platform a year or two ago, using ABC data, but the initial connection proved impossible to make and Sage was no help. Unless we can install it internally, and get a sense for how it works, we'll never know if it is something we'd feel comfortable deploying (without someone providing setup and support as a package).
Not having any help with the prerequisite connectivity is pretty much a deal-breaker to us. Even if we managed to miraculously get it working, what happens with the inevitable connectivity support issues that will arise? Getting it working for a demo is one thing... getting it stable enough for Live is something else.
Can someone tell me if the Power presentation / posted videos have full-beginning-to-end, click-here-type-there... instructions on the initial setup? I may be wrong, but this looks like something that is not for small partners to do on their own... needing significant technical assistance to deploy a quality solution.

Steve made it clear last year and this year that Sage will only develop and support the Power Apps APS, and they will not develop any further apps beyond the few they already did. I was initially disappointed at this news, but I now think it's good news.
90 Minders can use these tools to develop useful enhancements as part of increasing their IP value for customers. I hope that 90 Minds can sponsor some workshops and roundtables to help interested members pursue this opportunity.

At the risk of sounding overly(?) snarky, does the Power Apps integration to Sage 100 have the ability to grow legs and become a valuable tool for resellers and users? Steve Malmgrem has a history of demonstrating cool stuff at MOTM and Summit (when Sage 100 was actually featured). While much of the stuff looked cool (and was to an extreme techie), support material was never developed and the cool tool died a quiet death.
Is this different?
If it is different, is it on the 90M radar to have an encore webinar for the membership? It sounds interesting and I would like to learn more.

Thanks much @Jerry Norman. He separately posted this - it has all that we were looking for:
At MOTM, Steve Malmgren gave another great session on using Power Apps. He'd mentioned a Sage City group for this, but I couldn't find it. So I emailed him, and he sent the link:
Sage 100cloud Power Platform Developers - Sage City Community
It does have a number of pieces helpful in get\ting started and beyond ...

All,
Anne went to Disneyland. 😃 Well deserved R&R.
She said that she will follow up with all of this when she returns.
