What New Features Are Included in Sage100 2023?
The top ten noteworthy features in Sage 100 2023 include:
- Beginning with version 2023, Sage 100 has been consolidated into a single product with one set of registration keys. You select the product architecture from Stand-Alone or Client/Server during installation. If you choose Client/Server architecture, you choose between ProvideX or Microsoft SQL Server for your database. There is no additional cost for a different architecture, and you won’t need to obtain separate keys for your chosen architecture.

Will Sage 100 Run In The Cloud?
Sage 100 is fully supported, running in many cloud configurations. In most cases, users of Sage 100 will use a third party to assist with the hosting since Sage doesn’t directly host Sage 100. Whether you use AWS, Azure or Sage Partner Cloud, Sage Strategic Hosting, or one of many independent cloud hosting providers – we believe the future of Sage 100 is in the cloud.
Sage 100 is typically run in the cloud via one of three types of cloud hosts:
- Sage Partner Cloud – A Sage partner hosts in Azure
- Sage Strategic Hosting – An established host who is Sage-certified hosts
- General Cloud Hosting – A general cloud hosting partner who may or may not be Sage certified ( ie, Summit Hosting – who sponsors this blog )
