Sage Time and Billing Professional (T2) and Timekeeper Slated For 2018 Upgrades

by

I just received this email from Mark Janecek, Direct of Product Management and Development for SWK Technologies, Inc.

We hope you are enjoying 2018 so far! We can’t wait to show you what we’ve got in store this year. The holidays might be over but that doesn’t mean SWK couldn’t sneak in one last gift for our partners!

In 2018, SWK is putting a renewed focus on the Time and Billing Professional (T2) and TimeKeeper (TK) solutions for Sage 100. We will be making these solutions available for new license sales after continuous calls for their return. We’ve heard a lot of positive feedback about our Time and Billing Suite, and we want to let you know first that in 2018 you will see a new direction for these solutions.

These are the only time and billing tools fully integrated into Sage 100, and we understand they are valuable additions to your customers’ operations. That is why, in addition to relaunching Time and Billing Professional and Timekeeper for new license sales, we are expanding and improving upon the software!

It appears that 2018 will bring an upgrade for Time and Billing Professional (T2) to the business framework file structure defined by Sage 100 v4.0 applications.

We heard in April 2017 that SWK Technologies had halted new sales of Time and Billing with consultants reporting in June 2017 that their maintenance was not being renewed.

It appears the company has taken a fresh look at the landscape for Time and Billing and decided to redouble efforts on their existing Sage 100 based Time and Billing.

If your customer’s maintenance is expired, we encourage you to reach out to Stella Chammas at 973.251.0072 to see how your clients can get back on active maintenance to qualify for this update.

LIVINGSTON, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SWK Technologies, Inc. (SWK), a Sage Software certified gold development and business partner for more than 20 years, just signed its first Sage ERP X3 client, RFI Ingredients (RFI). The announcement made by Jeffrey D. Roth, CEO of SWK, builds on the strategy he announced in February 2010 to increase SWK’s presence throughout the Northeast by selling Sage ERP X3 and providing related services to clients. SWK is one of a handful of nationwide Sage business partners to recently adopt Sage ERP X3.

“Sage ERP X3 adapts to a company regardless of size or organization style.”
Based in Blauvelt, NY, RFI is a manufacturer of innovative natural ingredients for the food, functional food and dietary supplement industries. The company has decided to upgrade its systems to Sage ERP X3 based on recent and projected growth, compliance with Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP), the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), a new location, and to better manage its inventory.

“Sage ERP X3’s focus on collaborative technology and its customizable interface is a great solution for RFI because the system will simplify processes and increase efficiency,” said Andrew M.

“I am not surprised that we’ve already signed our first Sage ERP X3 client,” said Roth. “Not only have we seen great demand in the marketplace, but our sales and consulting teams have been meeting with prospects and current clients to spread the word about Sage ERP X3.”

“RFI is another example of SWK’s full-service approach to working with clients; ERP X3 broadens the strong relationship we already have with them,” said Matthew Hahn, Vice President of Network Services. “Initially, we provided RFI with SWK’s Network and Managed Services offering. Now, we can build on this success to bring similar solutions to even more clients.”
