Sage Developers: we suck…official.

February 25th, 2010 admin

According to the Sage Developers’ blog : Our recommended approach for deployment of new or customised Workspaces to a customer site is to create an Add-On (SDBX) package for it. This approach makes deployment quite straight-foward. Eating our own dog-food has, however, shown that using the tool to create these packages is anything but straight-forward. To be honest, it’s quite painful and error prone . [My emphasis added.] The author then goes on to explain all the ways Workspaces can be a pain but very helpfully offers a solution. Developers are like that. They do stuff because it’s useful and…

Things you didn’t know about Sage
Yesterday I met with Stuart Lynn and Ian Clarke – both senior development people at Sage. I would have liked to get Ian on video but he’s camera shy. Another time perhaps. We had a great conversation with me lambasting the company for keeping so much behind walled gardens or pay to play hurdles. I sensed that by the time I’d...

Sage: Paul Walker CEO’s successor
Let’s be honest – Sage is in the crapper. It survives on entitlement subscription revenues and is driven by an acquisition led strategy. It’s latest flagship upgrade has been roundly slapped as bug infested bloatware. If you know anything about software and users you also know that might please the markets…but it is a temporary...

The Sage 50-2010 train wreck
Kudos to AccountingWeb for rallying the troops over the latest in a long string of Sage release sagas impacting professionals trying to heft the latest Sage 50 release. Before going any further it is worth pointing out that the people who are most tech savvy tend to be the ones that have the most to say. Even so, there are lessons for anyone using...

Avoiding cloud confusion – the BASDA perspective
Earlier in the week, I met with Jairo Rojas, CEO BASDA , the trade organization for UK software vendors. We were discussing the current confusion around cloud computing and he pointed out that ‘cloud’ is just as confusing for vendors as it is for buyers. That is one of the problems the SaaS Apps Wiki is endeavouring to resolve. In... 
RFP, what RFP?
RFP, what RFP?
Requests For Proposal (RFP) are a common feature of the IT landscape. At least for anything beyond the Pavlov Dog approach to Sage by some practices. The rise of SaaS applications has largely removed the need for RFPs, in part because most applications are aimed at the SMB market. Users are tempted by freemium or try-before-you-buy offers.
