We saw the first release (R1) of Sage CRM 2018 back in December. Now just a few months later, the second release (R2) is available and brings some great new features that we’ll take a closer look at in this article.

Sage CRM Calendar

Sage CRM 2018 R2 continues to build on what’s probably the heart of the application - the calendar. This release further extends the great enhancements in Version 2018 R1 with new filtering options in all calendar views. Action and Status filters can be added to Day, Work Week, Week and Month views and are retained for the session duration. In addition, the calendar now displays dates according to your personal settings in the Preferences area.

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.

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.

Sage CRM 2018 Calendar

You may have noticed that enhancing Calendar functions has been a focus over the last couple of new releases and version 2018 continues that trend. Because the Calendar is at the heart of so many activities in Sage CRM, the following improvements are now available:

Task Quick Complete - Allows you to complete a task with a single click. 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.
