If there’s one thing the highs and lows of the last year have taught us,
it’s that here at Sage we’re very fortunate to have a strong, engaged
partner community. Even amidst a volatile economy, Sage and our
business partners continue to chalk up numerous successes. Today,
Sage is poised to blaze ahead with broader solutions, product releases,
and partner programs. I sincerely hope that you can attend Insights 2010
because Sage will be offering numerous opportunities to build on the
momentum we’ve created together.
As you may have heard, this year’s Insights will mark the final year of our
standalone partner event. In July of 2011, we’ll host a joint partner and
customer conference under the name Sage Summit. Given that we won’t be
getting together as a partner community for another 14 months, attending
Insights this year will be more important than ever.
Thank you for your continued partnership. I look forward to connecting with
Thank you Sage you in May.
partners for your
support and Best Regards,
achievements!
