Well, it is official. Yesterday Sage software released a statement indicating that the parent organization, Sage Group, "removed" the top four seats at Sage Software US including the CEO, CFO, CTO and President.
This serves as confirmation that despite Sage Software trying to put on a good face, the ship hit the perverbial iceberg when it tried to update the technology behind MAS90 and failed to a large degree.
Sage also announced they were going to work harder at getting closer to their customer base. This on the heels of their largest reseller / VAR announcing last week that they sold more than double MAS 90/200/500 product than the next closest VAR. Anyone else smell a merger?
You know, it isn't much fun to be right when the news is negative. It would be better to be saying nice things for sure. But in this particular circumstance, the beurocratic whoo-ha of a self centered myopic organization has caught up with its designers and fallen flat as a result.
The jury is still out on whether or not MAS 90 and MAS 200 will be retired as a product. Sage Software already announced that their flagship cash-cow porducts MAS 90 and MAS 200 were being put out to pasture, so it is only a matter of time until what was once the most widely used business management software for the mid-market moves to Florida and buys a condo, and hits the buffets at 3pm for dinner.
Keep track here and we will see if/when MAS90 dies.
