Sage One

Written by
From the slow growth in the US compared to the UK, we can conclude that the Brits don't care as much as US businesses about having a product that actually does something.

Core / noncore designation

Written by
They have done this pretty much every other year since 2000. They just use different euphemisms. Almost none of the products ever go away.

Does the Sage Group talk to anyone?

Written by
When will global Sage verify the impact and implication of their verbage - might be a good idea if they try using their channel. They don't have to tell the channel anything until the big announcements - but at least a test the choices of terms for labeling of products. Any thing starting with the prefix of "non" isn't perceived as "pro," except for nontoxic and nonabrasive.

Sage

Written by
I am a Sage reseller (Sage 100). Over the last 5-10 years, Sage has done a lot of great work to upgrade most of the product to the new framework. But, inexplicably, they left out PR, WO, JC, and MRP. The new framework with API and incredible customizability could be a market leader again - if - Sage would use this platform to build real functionality. It's like building a great foundation, then leaving a shack on top. My advice, complete the foundation and start building!

is Sage listening

Written by
Sage is hearing every word the resellers are saying. The are listening. I believe that Sage management believes these changes are necessary and they will not be dissuaded from the course that they have set. Listening to Tom Miller of Sage I thought I heard one very important point. I thought I heard Tom say that Sage knew they might take a short term revenue hit becasue of these changes. Second he kept coming back to all the good things about the changes or all the things he thought were good things that Sage was doing to help resellers adapt. I don't think I even heard him HINT there might be some changes. In the words of George Bush the smarter "Stay the course"... wouldn't be prudent to change.

The BI and Analytics Continuum

Written by
It’s no surprise that BI and Analytics is hard to kill; the value proposition is underpinned by a compelling need to understand what’s driving business results and making more informed decisions to improve outcomes. Sage apparently understands this and has followed in the footsteps of IBM, Oracle and SAP by acquiring a BI vendor to complement their ERP and accounting solutions. Gartner is predicting worldwide BI software revenue of around $12.5B in 2012 based on a survey of 2,300 CIOs and this excludes related services (…channel opportunity anyone?). Overall though, BI and Analytics is a bit like advanced technology in cars…first its available in a Benz but then ends up in a Toyota when the costs and complexities come down over time. The SMB space can already benefit from this “commoditization” of BI best practices and there’s a lot more to come.

Blackbaud had a channel which it shut down in a single phone call with no warning several years ago. What makes this different, what says it wont happen again?
