A pure SaaS product in a family of on-premise models, Sage Fundraising Online, is getting touted as at least a minor breakthrough product and based on some limited interviews with MIP resellers, it's going to get a good reception. Bruce Nickerson of B.L. Nickerson & Associates of Mendham, N.J., said advantages include that there's it's very easy to install and that the pricing beats virtually “anything out there.” The importance of Fundraising Online goes beyond the VARs like Nickerson, who sell Sage’s MIP NFP accounting line.

The most important strategic statement to come out of Sage Insights was a statement by Tom Miller, VP of channel management, that Sage is not going to deliberately weed out the smaller resellers the way its rival Microsoft is doing. Asked about Sage’s views, Miller said the company believes there is room for small resellers and accountants, not just the larger, expanding VARs. “It’s a big tent,” was his way of expressing it.

Sage North America is studying whether to bring X3 Standard, a less-sophisticated version of its high-end manufacturing package into the United States. During the Insights reseller conference, that product's name got translated by the gossip mill into "X2", which serves as a handy way to think about the product, although not an officially accurate term.
