Sage released the following promotions for Sage 100 users. Most of these run through 12/31/2021 although some have longer expiration dates.
Receive 15% off list price for Sage Partner Cloud bundles for the first year – Expires 12/31/2021
Select an annual subscription on Sage Partner Cloud ( this is the Azure-hosted bundle- doesn’t apply to strategic hosting providers ) and take 15% off year 1. If you’re an existing Sage customer who is migrating to SPC then you must purchase an equal or greater number of licenses.
Sage 100 and Sage 300 customers who switch to a pre-authorized method of payment get 2% off their renewal amount through FY22 – Expires 9/30/2022
You’ll need to be an existing subscription customer presently paying by check to claim this promo. Switch to ACH ( preferred ) or credit card and take 2% off your subscription through FY22. You must process the payment type change prior to your renewal. The discount only applies to the core Sage 100 product and does not apply to 3rd party or endorsed add-on solutions.
On plan perpetual customers who have renewed business care within the past one year can upgrade to subscription at no additional cost – Expires 12/31/2021
Pretty much all the major new features added to Sage 100 are exclusive to Sage 100 subscription making this an easy decision for the serious Sage 100 user. You’ll only receive the discount for your current user count. This percent is treated as a migration credit which has historically been subject to increases that are calculated separately from those applied to all Sage 100 users.
Our Recommendation
Subscription is where Sage is putting all their development effort. If you are on a perpetual license for Sage 100 it’s time to make the move. We haven’t seen materially better promotions and in our view, the promotions are unlikely to increase significantly in the future – so there’s little incentive for waiting to see if the subscription migration offers will significantly increase.
Talk with your Sage partner about the various promos and consider making the transition while these offers are still available.
