Notice 23-KS | 05 Dec 2023

Dear Partner,

Within the Sage 200 product family, our API plays a crucial role in supporting the product customisation and integration with other solutions, as well as in enabling the development of new web screen capabilities. We understand that our API is a cornerstone of the collaborative success we've built together, and we are committed to enhancing it further.

With that in mind, we are excited to announce some significant improvements to our API that will empower our customers, partners, and developers even more. These changes will enhance the flexibility and usability of our API, ultimately strengthening our collective ability to meet evolving business needs.

We’re happy to share that our Sage 200 API, for external connections, can now be used to establish multiple tenant connections to Sage 200 Professional: customers, partners, and developers will now have the ability to establish multiple connections, making it easier to manage and integrate various solutions seamlessly.

We are making these changes to address specific scenarios that will greatly benefit our ecosystem:

  • Permanent Disaster Recovery: Customers who wish to set up a permanent disaster recovery site with the API integrated into their additional solutions.
  • Bespoke Work Testing: Customers looking to utilise their test copies for bespoke work testing before deploying to live environments.
  • Test Server Setup: Customers preparing to upgrade and wishing to set up a test server prior to the upgrade will be able to onboard a second test connection effortlessly and perform API migrations seamlessly when ready to go live.
  • Partners and developers in house copies: we understand the importance of hands-on experience. Thus, partners and developers will now be able to set up individual API connections using their unique API onboarding. This change ensures that your staff can become intimately familiar with the technology, support it effectively, and seamlessly build solutions that integrate with Sage 200.

This applies to Sage 200 Professional, including Sage Partner Cloud. You can find out more in our dedicated articles.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions, or feedback you may have. We value your partnership and look forward to our continued collaboration as we leverage these enhanced API capabilities to create more value for our clients.

Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our shared success.

Kind regards,

Sage Products & Services Team
