Sage Partner Solution Source debuts

Sage rolled out another web site today featuring their new logo and web site design. This site, Partner Solution Source, holds information about Sage’s third party developer products.

Currently this page is capturing visitors who try to connect to the old Extended Solutions web site which used to hold product manuals for the 1,500+ custom enhancements marketed for the Sage MAS 90 and 200 product lines.

Unfortunately I have not yet been able to located a direct (or any) link to the Extended Solutions product descriptions. Perhaps as the move settles down Sage will provide a direct link so users can review the Extended Solutions manuals and pricing in the same way that their prior site allowed.

These Partner Solutions are broken down by the level of the provider as follows:

• Endorsed – The Endorsed Partner level is by Sage invitation only. These partners are required to meet rigorous strategic, technology, and integration criteria. Their solutions are handpicked by Sage and marketed aggressively alongside our core solutions.
• Gold – The Gold level is a select tier for established development partners who seek a closer relationship with Sage. The Gold Partners gain greater visibility and credibility for their solutions among customer and partners. They must agree to additional requirements like following Sage best practices, and getting at least one of their solutions certified through an independent testing company.
• Silver – Silver is an entry-level tier that is designed for developers who are new to a particular Sage suite of products or focus on custom solutions.

The site identifies the program as follows:

The Sage Development Partner Program provides partners access to the tools and resources they need to develop, test, and market their applications and components for Sage ERP, CRM, Accounting, and Value Solutions. The products included under this program are: Sage MAS 90 ERP, Sage MAS 200 ERP, and Sage MAS 500 ERP, Sage Accpac ERP, Sage Pro ERP, Peachtree by Sage, Sage BusinessVision, Sage BusinessWorks Accounting, Simply Accounting by Sage, Sage PFW ERP, ACT! by Sage, SageCRM, and Sage SalesLogix.
