Sage 100 ERP Hosting

February 25, 2015 by Wayne Schulz

Are you considering hosting your Sage 100 ERP software someplace other than your company servers?

Cloud computing involves deploying (or more commonly renting) groups of remote servers and software networks that allow centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources.

Clouds can be classified as

  • public  (Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud) – cloud infrastructure operated for the benefit of many groups, typically you share servers and computing resources
  • private – cloud infrastructure maintained solely for the benefit of one organization, typically dedicated servers and computing resources
  • hybrid – a combination of public and private – typically using more than one service provider

 

Some of the benefits of hosting Sage 100 outside of your company include:

  • Backups are  included and performed automatically for you
  • Power and facilities are managed and usually have some level of redundancy
  • Access your data from any web connected computer
  • One price for all licensing, maintenance and management
  • Improved security

What To Look For In  A Sage 100 ERP Cloud Host

Unless you have a very basic need for only the core Sage 100 ERP modules you’ll probably want to consider:

  • Does your host allow you to run not only Sage 100 ERP but also common add-ons (Starship, Scanforce, Crystal Reports, etc) – the most basic hosting providers, including Sage themselves,  may not?
  • Does your host have experience with setup and configuration of Sage 100 ERP – as well as the most common add-ons?
  • Does the monthly price include your Sage 100 ERP licenses and maintenance?
  • Who performs the Sage 100 ERP upgrades? Some hosts  include this while others may request  you use a separate consulting firm to manage the upgrade
  • How many other users will be on the server (if not private)? The less resources on a shared server the slower your accounting software may operate.
  • What is the contract commitment (if any)?
  • What is the guaranteed response time to restore important files – both on a routine  and emergency basis
  • Is Microsoft Office included in the hosting price? If not how much extra is the productivity tool per month?
  • How long as the provided been hosting Sage ERP products?
  • What other products are being hosted on the same server(s)?

Prior to moving your Sage 100 ERP off-site you should also consider the stability of your office internet connection. If you have a connection that is unstable or very slow you may  find  cloud hosting won’t work for you. Since most companies have fairly reliable (and fast) internet connections  there is seldom a concern about connectivity except for in the most remote of areas.

How Much Will Sage 100 ERP Hosting Cost ?

Prices for hosting vary. On the very low end you could pay as little as $ 25/mo (Amazon) for a “bring your own Sage 100 ERP ” setup which includes a desktop with remote access but you install and configure Sage 100 ERP yourself. Pricing for the Sage’s own hosting starts at $159 though Sage hosting does not allow for any customization of your ERP and few (if any) third party integrations. What Sage’s hosting does allow for is an inexpensive bundle of the Sage 100 ERP licenses along with hosting. For this reason the Sage option is usually best for smaller companies who don’t need customization and have 3 or fewer users.

Moving outside the “do-it-yourself” host (Amazon) and Sage’s basic hosting – expect to pay $ 150 – $200 per month for each user depending upon how the software licenses are initially acquired.
