General Consultant Discussion

There is another Sage 100 certification for the Financial and Distribution competency that is due by December 1, 2012. So while you're getting your other certs done might as well take care of this one too. Per SageU: ""Effective immediately: The Sage CRM integration course will become a requirement for the Financial and Distribution competency role. All Certified Consultants who hold the Financial and Distribution competency role will have until December 1, 2012, to complete this FREE integration Anytime Learning course and assessment that will be required to renew the competency for the 2013 plan year. "" The course is: MS9250PA - Sage 100 ERP Integration with Sage CRM The assesment is: MS9250PE - Sage 100 ERP Integration with Sage CRM Assessment

Do you know if this applies to those of us who already passed the Sage CRM certification before Sage changed the requirements? Also, does Sage do anything proactively anymore or is it all reaction to what their channel provides as feedback?

I don't think that the Sage CRM certification let's you off the hook for this course, I have that cert too and was told I still need to take this assesment. As Sage explained it to me, it's the intergration of CRM to Sage 100, so it's actually a different course. Although the shades of grey for me are quite apparent as this seems to overlap not just the Sage CRM cert, but also the recent Installation Assesment. Regarding being proactive - well the training rep I spoke with said they've begged to have this information be more promient both on the SageU site and in partner communications. They (Sage training) knows there is an issue with getting this information out to the channel in a timely and comprehensive manner, but the powers that be don't seem to listen to them, or to us. So, yes Wayne, Sage as a whole isn't being proactive, even if some departments within Sage are making requests to be proactive.

Thanks for the update Moira
