This year's Sage Summit in San Diego (Feb 14 - Feb 15, 2019) offers incredible value for Sage 100 customers. With a full schedule of sessions designed to help businesses extract more value from their business management software investments, there's so much for attendees to do that it's impossible to do it all. The biggest challenge for Sage 100 customers in attendance will be choosing between high impact sessions.
Here are just a few session highlights to help attendees navigate Sage Summit:
Lessons from the Field: Overcoming barriers and accelerating growth with Sage 100cloud
Let's face it. Businesses are ... busy. They are focused on understanding and overcoming their own business problems. They are focused on addressing the competitive pressures of their industry. It can difficult for businesses to gain perspective on broader challenges facing growing businesses, and anticipating the kinds of challenges they may encounter in the future. In this panel, leaders from Blytheco, DSD Business Systems, and PMO Solutions will discuss patterns they are seeing across customers, identify industry trends, and describe high impact practices that businesses can start putting into place today.
Mythbusting Sage 100cloud: Everything you wanted to know

In this session, we will address Sage 100cloud 'myths,' so that Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud customers alike can fully appreciate the value of the subscription product, and the ways in which we are investing in its future.

Learn about some lesser-known features for Sage 100cloud that can make a big difference for mid-sized service, distribution, and manufacturing enterprises looking to optimize their business processes.
Extending the Power of Mid-Market Solutions: Leveraging the Microsoft Office 365 Power Platform
In 2018, we added our first Microsoft Office Integration for Sage 100cloud: Sage Contact. Sage Contact is a free MS Office 365 Outlook integration for Sage 100cloud that provides sales reps with access to key customer information in browser and via mobile, including available credit, outstanding balances, and the number of days it typically takes to settle a bill. Users can click through payment and invoice histories, review recent customer communications and create notes to share with other Sage Contact users. This was just the beginning. Get a sneak peak from our innovation lab, and provide feedback on the kinds of integration you'd like see in the future.
P.S. If you are a Sage 100cloud customer and have not yet implemented Sage Contact, you're missing out. Talk to your Sage Partner to get it set up today.
Thriving amidst complexity: Navigating the Challenges of a Growing Business
Sage Summit is not ultimately about Sage. Sage Summit is about Sage customers. It's about you. At Sage, we recognize that technology is never the 'secret sauce.' While a business management solution like Sage 100cloud may be an essential tool, as a tool, it is only as effective as the organizations that wield it. Hear from Sage 100cloud customers themselves. What unexpected challenges have growing businesses like yours encountered, what did they do to respond, and how could those challenges have been avoided? In this session, Sage 100cloud customers will discuss specific challenges and share the high impact strategies that have helped them thrive.
In addition to all of this (and more), attendees can of course look forward to a vision and roadmap session for Sage 100. We are investing heavily in Sage 100cloud. We are laser focused on a strategy designed to accelerate customer value while reducing complexity. We invite our customers to join us in San Diego to provide feedback on a direction that we at Sage are incredibly excited about.
