Sage 100

There will be some really important topics discussed at the Sage 100 2016 webinar today at 9:00am PST. I would encourage you to attend if at all possible. It will include positioning of Sage 100c.

Registration link --- [here](http://s216551651.t.en25.com/e/es.aspx?s=216551651&e=4360&elq=6fa2aaab9bd1419996c0dc281f555f22)

Catching up on our jazz standards on hold . . .

NOTHING missed

Just joined. What have I missed. Looking at accomplishing goals...

Obviously, not ""Classic

OK, once again, what does ""C"" stand for?

She doesn't get out much.

she is terrible

It's for that new ""Clean"" look.

connected collaborative and something else I cant remember.

I am sure she is a good coder....

Wow. That's how to generate excitement about the product! Zzzzzzzzzzz

So far, this is not new. Sage disclosed all of this in somewhat vague terms at Summit

C = Cash Cow!

C = cash flow Sage's.

Or convert to Acumatica ;-)

Summit Redux

C = CEO It's the Stephen Kelly version.

They could use her to torture off plan customers in to going on to subscription. ""please stop, I'll sign!

C = C-ya later, Sage.

Why not show us Live demo?

Is she giving a presentation that's not showing up?

@ThereseLogeais - Be sure she is not the presenter at MOTM 2016...

Just slides

If you aren't fired with ENTHUSIASM, you will be FIRED with enthusiasm.

Why do we have 12 Panelists

LOL - wonder how long until they add in-app purchases Buy theme! -- $499

a Live Demo might throw off her smooth presentation

IMHO if you haven't already seen this, you probably don't deserve to be a reseller. We've seen this a LOT more than any previous upgrade.

C = Can't wait to install next month...

The new user interface only comes with a subscription??

^^ Yes All was discussed quickly at Summit

Yes this is only for 100C

Yes, only c which is subscription.

Wouldn't that be 100S?

So far this is a boring repeat of road ahead at Summit 2015

I can't believe flattening a button is important enough to mention with us all holding our breaths over pricing.

I think we need to bill Sage for these webinars for our time!

The important topic will be an explanation of how a current Sage 100 customer gets to C.

No Mike Ritchie, Diane Coffman, Scott Munro

It appears they get there by bending over

They're in hiding.

Cha-CHING!, @PhilMcIntosh

Oh boy..... this is dreadful

I am seriously ready to throw shit.

I am sure the none C version which we all want to see will be demonstrated at the very end at the speed she is going....

Why is Linda still employed?

If we weren't on mute, I'd stir up the dogs right now for a little excitement.

@MarkKotyla because no one wants the job!

Payroll again? We already did a great discussion on that one.

See: Speaker of the House

Linda is very smart technically - as long as she stays in her cubicle.

If she's so smart why is she still at Sage?

Because at all of her interviews, she kept looking at her shoes.

I saw Linda speak on Sage 500 at Summit. She seemed capable. Clearly webinars on new products are not her strength

It should be 100zzzzzzz

With few exceptions, presenters should never be senior product managers or developers. Never.

And really, how is Sage automatically posting to customer's GL?????

With the exception of any ancillary fees everything is included

That sound was my forehead hitting the desk.

I can't remember ACA ever being on my mind.

I generally try to stay positive about everything, but this is freakin killing me.

I woke up again at 3:30 AM today worried about Multi-Bin, so this helps me catch up on my sleep.

This is a great testimonial....

For abandoning Sage 100 and going to another product

And none of this has anything to do with ""c"", so WTH?

Have you seen wizard of oz?

if Sage is monitoring the webex q&a, they should be worried.

Well the only functional development has been in payroll and that only because of legal requirements

don't look behind the curtain.

Apparently this is why the session was scheduled for one and a half hours.

FINALLY, a check box for defaulting the order day!!!!!!

Additionally we have added additional screens

Got it!!

AND you can now copy a quote to other types of SO's..... Been waiting for that for 10+ years....

OMG somebody wants to watch it again....

So I asked what the pricing would be for customers to move from perpetual to subscription licensing. The price will be a 15% increase of their current business care plan renewal. So, if the renewal is $5K, the new price will be $5,750. Relatively speaking, I guess that is not too bad. I followed that up with if the reseller margin would be based on the subscription pricing or the business care renewal. No answer on that one yet...I will post it if they answer it. Oh, Diane Haines has been answering my questions - full disclosure.

They have so many panelists, so they can each answer specific questions. ""Go ahead, Kevin, take that one.

Did she mention that this is 2016 AND c now, or is she implying it's still c ? Sorry, I zoned out for a while, for some reason.

@BrianKelly I want to know what the price is per user when adding.

This is both versions

@JohnHoyt - Oh, I am sure it will be at the standard pricing once they move to subscription. Duh! LOL!

I guess I have strange customers. Exactly 0.0% are interested in a NEW UI that they have to re-train 50 people on. Isn't that the first question people ask about an upgrade? Very few companies want to put in a new UI.

Daniel Oh is there! He just evolves to another function every year.

And it's Paige from Sage!

@WayneSchulz I think you are correct. 2016 enhancement to c line are not compelling for most current customers. It's the future enhancement that will make it interesting.

@WayneSchulz - I do have a lot of customers who want the bigger font but don't like changing their screen resolution, so this will be good for them.

so what is ""C"" and what is ""2016"" OMG talk about confusing

I do believe the new UI is going to look way more attractive to prospective customers, so we will probably be leading with 100c for new prospects.

OMG this is painful. Talk about a lack of preparation.

@BobKohlmeyer - no reason not to. I wish they would just let everyone convert now to subscription at the same price and be fricking done with it.

I vote for the "". . . ready to throw shit"" comment by @BethBowers as the best description of this presentation. Thanks, Beth!

This is her first time seeing it. she is not on C

Sorry, can't reply, @JohnHoyt - I threw my mouse and am still picking up the pieces.

@BrianKelly So true but do they want to pay for it? They think is should have been available already,

The real value of 90 minds - venting here instead of smashing a laptop at every presentation

We - multi tasking? We wouldn't think of it, Linda.

Expiring Keys?

What??? We have to upgrade everyone or just apply the new key?

Oh, yeah, forgot about the payroll pricing fiasco

Big sigh.... New key on PR..... What big brother programs will be unlocked..

the payroll updates must have code embedded to look at new keys

New key is for both 2016 and C?

But only at 2016 right?

Mike Ritchie, Diane Coffman, and Scott Munro are no longer in hiding - they went into witness protection.

My inbox!

This is a BIG shuffle on the PR 2.0 timeline

in other words ""WE HAVE NOT IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING WHEN

Wake up! Diane's speaking. Put on your best first grader face.

simple pricing !

We applauded when we thought PR 2.0 was out next June, damn it

Are we allowed to use the term ""2.0"" if we are not a Millennial?

More ""value"" in the business care plan??

so a current silver end-user it goes from 21 to 36 percent?

15% more for some hyperlinks???? Where do I sign?

Wouldn't it be more enticing to lowball the C offering so perpetual users are incented to switch. Then in two years or so, lower the boom on them?

I asked yesterday, and any new customer that buys on subscription before the release of 100c will automatically be given 100c at the same subscription price - for one year. (Until they decide they need that activation fee.)

Upgrade assistance - as if they know all the stuff a user is using and understand the network environment.

$500 discount for Summit. It only costs $99

Coming soon - Jim Pendergast arriving at your clients without notifying you!

@CooperBlack - so if summit is $99 -- I guess we get a refund on each attendee

Strange definition of ""a lot

Mike, speak quickly to wake everyone up. (These Canadians!)

@WayneSchulz - Sage will definitely write you a check for the difference....

Are the new framework modules only for 100c?

I believe so.

It doen't sound like it. The core product is same for all flavors of 2016.

@PaulZiliak that is what they are saying. Anything that is GOOD or that you might want, will be in 100c that you can get for 15% more

The who and when transactions were updated have been there for years - not sure why that was considered a new feature?? did I miss something?

OK, I don't make anything on maintenance, but this sort of offends me that they're trying to show you how much more you can make by screwing over the customers.

@JohnnyPabian - not in AR Invoice HIstory file.

I asked about keys expiring - no response - others need to ask I bet it is coming.

And of course, this will NOT apply to the few bronze resellers who remain...

$1,500 in tier for upgrade to 100c - yay Diamond!
