Revolutionizing Sage Summit: Paving the Way for an Exciting Sage Future
Over the past several years, Sage’s flagship conferences have undergone a remarkable transformation, reflecting the company’s growth and adaptation to changing times. Let’s take a journey through the evolution of these events, from Sage Summit to the upcoming Sage Future in 2025.
The Evolution of Sage Conferences:
From Summit to Future
Sage Summit: The Early Years
Sage Summit was the premier event for Sage customers and partners, primarily focusing on Sage 100 and other legacy Sage products. The last Sage Summit took place in 2019, with events held in San Diego and Atlanta. These conferences offered a mix of product updates, industry insights, and networking opportunities for small and medium-sized business owners.
The 2019 San Diego event, held from February 13-15, featured tracks for small businesses, medium businesses, and thought leadership. Attendees could explore topics ranging from productivity boosters for Sage 50cloud to myth-busting sessions about Sage 100cloud. The Atlanta event, held from May 13-15, continued this trend with a focus on empowering businesses to thrive.
The Transition: Sage Intacct Advantage
As the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, in-person events were put on hold. When conferences resumed, the focus shifted to Sage Intacct Advantage in 2021 and 2022. These events highlighted Sage’s cloud-based financial management solution and its growing importance in the Sage ecosystem.
The 2021 Sage Intacct Advantage conference, later rebranded as Sage Transform, showcased significant product enhancements. Key announcements included:
1. AP Automation:
A new feature allowing direct import of PDF invoices into Sage Intacct using OCR technology.
2. Sage Intacct Planning:
Improvements in user experience, integration, and data utilization.
3. Interactive Custom Report Writer:
Enhanced reporting capabilities for more accurate financial analysis.
Sage Transform: A New Era
In 2023, the conference was rebranded as Sage Transform, signaling a broader focus on digital transformation across Sage’s product lines.
The 2024 Sage Transform event, held from February 26-29 in Las Vegas, brought exciting developments:
1. Sage Copilot:
An AI-powered productivity assistant integrated into Sage Intacct, set to debut later in the year.
2. Multi-Year Contracts:
New options for locking in preferential pricing for up to three years.
3. New Features:
Including a Sage Fixed Asset Management module and Payroll Powered by ADP.
