What’s The Difference Between Sage 100 and Sage 100Cloud?

Sage 100cloud is a subscription-based version of Sage 100. All of your existing Sage 100 data migrate seamlessly to Sage 100cloud with no-rekeying and no change in the menus that you and your staff are accustomed to. Your third-party integrations, enhancements and Custom Office (User-Defined Fields)  as well as Crystal Reports all transfer seamlessly.

Sage has just notified us that their migration promotion which is available for any Sage 100 perpetual user active on maintenance will cease on September 30, 2018.

This promotion allows perpetual license holders to migrate their perpetual license to subscription (aka Sage 100cloud) for the same price as their perpetual renewal.

Once migrated, Sage indicates that future price increase will adhere to limitations as set forth in their EULA which is presently no more than 10% per year.

If you are using Sage 100 under a perpetual license we recommend migrating prior to the expiration of this offer.

Yes, You Can Upgrade to Sage 100 2019 From Earlier Versions

by

This past week I was asked if it was possible to upgrade a very early version of Sage 100 (previously known as MAS 90 or MAS 200) from a level as early as 3.71 to the current version which is Sage 100 2019.

In short, the answer is  yes – although the Sage 100 v2019 Customer Upgrade Guide states that you must first be at version 3.71 and then migrate to 4.50 Product Update 8 and then to the latest Sage 100 release.

The interim stop at version 4.50 Product Update 8 seems to be required for certain third-party solutions as well as a reqirement by Sage.

You should plan to migrate to 4.50 PU 8 and then onto the latest Sage release.

Sage 100 4.50 Product Update 8 is available from the Sage KB

Sage Platinum For Windows (PFW) Migration Options and Cost

by

Users of Sage PFW (aka Platinum for Windows) will want to begin paying attention to their options for migrating to another accounting system. As you’ve probably heard all support for PFW will cease on March 2014. While some third party providers may continue support there can be no further patches or updates for PFW issued.

Sage PFW Users – Migration Decisions

What this means is that as Windows 8 (or more likely Windows 9) is adopted by companies there is no assurance that the legacy PFW system will continue to be compatible with the new Windows versions.

Your options as a PFW user:

  1. Stay as is and take your chances
  2. Migrate to a product within Sage’s portfolio
  3. Migrate to another product not within Sage’s portfolio
  4. Go back to pencil and paper
  5. Some combination of the above

Sage is offering a number of discounts off their existing solutions for those PFW users looking to upgrade before support stops in March 2014.  In many cases your data can be migrated using automated tools developed by Sage.

It’s best to avoid the rush that may occur as the cutoff date approaches. Contact your Sage partner who can provide you much more detailed and thorough analysis of the pros and cons of your migration that is possible in the limited space available here.

Here is a copy of the Sage Investment Protection Program PDF detailing pricing on migrations from PFW

Which Sage 100 ERP Items Remain After a Re-Migration

by

Version(s):
4.5
Problem / Description:

 

If you do a test migration and then go back and remigrate data – which of the elements (roles, forms, UDF, etc) will remain and which will be overwritten?

 

 

Resolution:

 

Your customizer data and UDF’s remain in tact, as well as security. However, your Reports under the company data folder will not.

 

Also any module specific settings will need to be reimplemented.
