Information and insights for your success

November is a great selling season!

We are in the last quarter of the calendar year, when a significant number of businesses are making final buying decisions to spend down their annual budgets. Be sure to take advantage of this great selling season, and focus on your customers' needs and how you can provide value.

The following are a few exciting updates that can help broaden your horizons and boost your efforts:

FY 2015 Inspire tour

Many of us at Sage are participating in The Inspire Tour this fall. I encourage you to attend this forum with your customers, and make face-to-face connections with your peers and colleagues—as we share and discuss trending issues, top business challenges, and solutions your clients can put to use in their organizations. You can see all of our upcoming stops, as well as register on the Inspire Tour website.

November 19 Cross-Sell webcast: Sage Sales Tax

Also, be sure to attend the November 19 Cross-Sell webcast on Sage Sales Tax. It has an average payback of five months; come learn more about why thousands of manufacturing and distribution customers have already automated the exemption certificate management and returns filing processes—using Sage Sales Tax to address these challenges and documentation requirements.

Two new programs for Sage ERP X3 developer partners

We recently announced the new Sage Certified Development Professional Program and Sage Certified Solution Program for Sage ERP X3, which were created to simplify our partnership options with developers and software solution providers, and make it easier for them to build relationships with Sage. Through these programs we plan to build out a new, quality third-party add-on ecosystem for Sage ERP X3 that gives our customers more choices, and enables our developer and software solution partners the ability to be part of the growing Sage ERP X3 mid-market segment.

Press release

New Sage ERP X3 implementation consultant onboarding program

Whether your organization is new to the ERP consulting profession or has been implementing ERP solutions for years, the new Sage ERP X3 Implementation Consultant Onboarding Program will help prepare your consultants to successfully implement a Sage ERP X3 solution. This is the first time that Sage has offered a program at this level, so we will be limiting the numbers of partners that we accept into this program, based on resource availability.

As we approach the holiday season, I am excited about the road ahead for our mutual businesses and thankful for your partnership. On behalf of Sage, we wish a very happy Thanksgiving holiday season (Canada, October 13, and U.S., November 27) to our North American partner community!

Best regards,


Donald Deshaies
VP, Channel Strategy and Management
