ANYONE ELSE JUST A LITTLE *** ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THEIR PAYROLL MODULE ANYMORE???
Sage seems to have had a "marketing meeting" that would one day be a great business school lecture on how to RUIN a company. One exec starts the meeting with " how do you guys figure we could make a ton more money so we all hit our bonus numbers?" Another exec (who we will call THE IDIOT) replies " Why don't we make every one of our customers pay every year for the software they already bought?" everyone in the meeting laughs because this is such a stupid suggestion. Then another exec says with an evil twinkle in his eye " what if we make the software they already bought STOP WORKING every year if they don't pay us for it again?" A smarter exec says " if that isn't illegal it should be, we can't do that!"
We all know where this story goes from here.
The question is "IS SAGE GOING TO BE AROUND MUCH LONGER? IS THERE A CLASS ACTION SUIT OVER THIS NOW? Why can I not use the program that I bought, just like I always BOUGHT it before.
In the age of open source and cloud computing how does this company figure it will keep customers if they can afford to hire a payroll service and a bookkeeper for just slightly more than paying for the program that allows them to do it themselves?
