2018 - The Road Ahead for Sage 100
Sage recently provided us with a glimpse of the future for both Sage 100 and 100cloud including development goals, new features planned in upcoming releases, and continued expansion of the ecosystem of connected apps. Let’s take a closer look at the road ahead for your ERP software.
Product Vision and Strategy
One word that describes all current and future product development goals is modernization. That applies to modernizing not only the underlying technology, but to the user experience when it comes to things like ease of use, screen navigation, and the installation process. It also means that if you need to migrate from Sage 100 or 100cloud to another Sage product, it will be as easy as updating.Perpetual License Pricing Change Coming in March 2018
While many software providers have moved solely to subscription-based licensing, Sage continues to offer both subscription and perpetual license options to customers. In order to accommodate the added cost of maintaining both options, Sage announced that they’ll be adjusting the price of Sage Business Care prices for Sage 100 perpetual licenses.
Beginning in March, Perpetual customers will see an annual increase of 20% on their renewal notification for any Sage Business Care plan renewing on or after March 1, 2018.
Sage states that pricing adjustments are determined based on an annual review across their entire solution portfolio which considers market conditions, the cost of doing business, added value delivered through major product releases, and various other factors. The price increase reflects the added personnel and resources required to support both subscription and perpetual license models.
Note: the increase does not affect Sage 100cloud subscription licenses which remain the same.

Completed tasks are automatically removed from the screen when filtering by ‘Pending’.
Drag and Drop Calendar Appointments - Appointments can be moved by dragging and dropping it to a new time in the Day, Week, Work Week and Month views.
Sage 100c Name Change
Just when you thought you had the different product names figured out, we learned that Sage will be changing the name of Sage 100c. Effective in March 2018, Sage 100c will be renamed to Sage 100cloud.
It’s primarily a marketing change designed to align Sage 100c with other cloud-focused products and services. However, there’s no new licensing or features to become familiar with. Same product, different name.
