Notice 22-FL | 15 June 2022

Dear Partner/Developer,

Last year we launched the Sage Partner Cloud Program, offering customers the choice to access Sage 200 on Microsoft Azure with a simplified deployment. A secondary part of this program was to review if we can accredit a small number of vendors who could offer further deployment options in conjunction with enhanced components such as Managed Services.

Research has been undertaken to identify suitable candidates for this accreditation, the results have shown that there is a wide pool of vendors in use across our Partner Channel and other vendors who are not Sage Business Partners, it is not possible to accredit them all. The intent of this would have been to accredit 1 or 2 vendors that covered most of our partners and as this is not possible, we wanted to let you know we will not be progressing the option to be an accredited hosted partner at this time.

This will not impact any partner's ability to continue to offer hosted services for Sage 200 or offer Sage 200 SPC as they currently do. We have a thriving customer base accessing Sage 200 through these partners and vendors in a variety of environments and this customer choice is crucial to the success of Sage 200.

Kind regards,

Sage 200 Product & Services Team
