Sage 100

Who in the group is a Sage 500 reseller and developer? I have a lead that is a company in the printing industry and needs a manufacturing system that he can have customized to his needs. He was comparing Sage 100 to 500 and I think 500 would be a better fit. They would have 50+ users. His main thing is that the reseller has developers that can work on the project to customize the way he wants it to work. Experience with a printing company is a plus.

Of course, if Sage finds out about this, they'll say it's an X3 candidate. The problem is printing is almost always make to order, which is not a strength of X3. We have at least 1 printing customer, but they are on Sage 100 with substantial modifications that were done before I was at H&B. Their requirements of custom/make to order are very close to what JobOps will do out of the box. And remember that JobOps is now in SQL.

I bounced into a couple printing leads ~10 yrs ago. There were a couple systems specialized to that niche, and I came away thinking there was no point to competing with them.

I have a printing company on Sage 100 SQL - they do probably 50-1,000 orders a day. That is a wide range. A majority of the orders come through the web and are ran through a printing job program that manages all their jobs that they track and link into Sage 100.

I think RKL is the most active - Tim Efinger is a member though not in this group so I cannot tag him.
