Difference #1 – Pricing module
Sage has introduced subscription based pricing with version “C” that allows you a variety of payment options including monthly, rather than purchasing the software licensing upfront on an annual or multi-year agreement. This reduces the initial cash outlay for new clients, and for those who choose to pay monthly, can eliminate the once a year lump sum maintenance renewal fee for existing clients. As a current Sage 300 client, you can switch your current perpetual license to a subscription license. Depending on your user count, modules used, and other factors, the subscription based pricing model can make paying monthly a bit easier on cash flow. If you are interested in moving to this pricing model, contact a specialist here for pricing. Sage will be offering all clients subscription pricing with their renewals, again please work with our Net@Work Renewal Team and Account Manager so that we can assist you with any questions.
Difference #2 – Web interface for anytime, anywhere access
Sage 300 “C” includes HTML 5 based web screens as the user interface. The new web screens allow you to have anytime, anywhere access to your Sage 300 system using any number of mobile devices including your smart phone (Apple and Android) IPad, tablets, or laptops using all the standard browsers including Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. Please note these web interface screens are only available if you migrate to subscription. You will need to work with your account manager and our renewal team to make this change.
