Sage CRM licensing trends over the past 5-years

sage crm license trends to 2017 to march 2022

This graph represents Sage CRM’s global sales trends (not NA specific) from 2017 to the end of March 2022. 

The purple line reflects NEW customers taking on Sage CRM – which is up 20% for each of the past 2-years!

The demand for CRMs continues to grow and Sage is the very best option for integrated private cloud systems.

S5Maps (Google Maps) has new pricing

S5Maps has made a strategic decision to reduce the subscription price from $2,400/year, it is now $1,500/year. The original rate was perfectly fine given how powerful S5Maps is, but this new rate means that it will become more popular.

We have clients that use this system and it is just great. A full write-up of the S5Maps solution can be found on this page of the My CRM Manager website

Training and Follow through

You can’t just turn it on and use it. And you can’t expect staff to automatically understand how it works and the gazillion options they have for using it.

Deploying Sage CRM properly requires an experienced guide and follow-through support. The advantage of working with My CRM Manager is that we have the best guides!

We have recently updated our page related to Sage CRM training and support. Please take a look.

Mobile Access Page

We have updated our Mobile Access page to include updated videos for the 2 most common ways Sage CRM customers bring up Sage CRM on their phones: (1) Sage CRM’s default Mobile Theme, and (2) MobileX.  

The 2-minute video here provides a quick overview of MobileX. This is the option that we typically recommend to clients where mobile access is important. If you jump to our updated Mobile Access page, you can see both videos AND can download our MobileX user guide.

Accelerator Update March 2022

Accelerator for Sage CRM 2022 release

Accelerator is the Advanced integration between Sage CRM and MS Outlook. At My CRM Manager, almost all of our projects use Accelerator as it has a hugely positive impact on the overall system. A complete breakdown of Accelerator is found on this page of the My CRM Manager website

Accelerator’s 2022 release (officially known as 5.1.0.0) is loaded with enhancements to the user interface and experience. This 2022 release elevates Accelerator’s new UI that came out in 2021. 

Here is a 6-minute video recap and you can see the entire release notes using the green link.

My CRM Manager at MOTM

We have a speaking session at MOTM this year! 

My CRM Manager represents the top Sage CRM development partners (Greytrix and CRM Together) within 90 Minds.

Below is an outline.

The state of Sage CRM in 2022: In this interactive session Dan Cousins from My CRM Manager will cover several topics including:

  • Sage’s position on CRM in 2022,
  • Sage CRM’s position in the competitive CRM Marketplace,
  • Deployment strategies for user adoption.

Advanced Email Management

Does your organization receive a lot of emails for a generic email address? For example support@ or inquiries@?

Sage CRM has a feature that can automatically pick up these emails and then create something – like a new service ticket (case) or lead. You can create as many of these email scenarios as you need and then modified what happens when these emails enter Sage CRM.

You can learn more about how Sage CRM manages communications on this page of the My CRM Manager website.

Sage CRM v2022R1 Now Available

In mid-February, Sage North America made Sage CRM v2022R1 available for download. If your organization is current with their Sage CRM support plan (either the subscription or via the annual renewal), then you are entitled to the latest versions of Sage CRM. 

Sage expects end-using companies to stay current(ish) with Sage CRM upgrades. Now that Sage has released v2022, they will stop supporting Sage CRM version 2019 as of September 30th, 2022.

Updated Accelerator User Guide

Almost all of our Sage CRM projects use the advanced integration between Sage CRM and MS Outlook (aka Accelerator). 

Accelerator has a massive impact on user adoption and a deep feature set. When it comes to user training, we provide a user guide (which references the training videos on our Accelerator page) in advance of the hands-on training sessions. These user guides are constantly evolving. You can see videos outlining Accelerator AND  download the latest version of our user guide from the Accelerator page on the My CRM Manager website.

Updated Sage CRM Mailchimp User Guide

When one of our accounts wants to start taking advantage of Sage CRM’s practical (and free) Mailchimp integration, we typically provide them with our Mailchimp User Guide and then schedule a meeting to go through it together. Since both Mailchimp and the Sage CRM integration keep evolving, it is an ongoing effort to keep our User Guides up to date. This week, my colleague April released an updated version of our Guide. You can download this updated Mailchimp User guide from the bottom of the Marketing page of the My CRM Manager website.

Note – We use Mailchimp internally to message (a) prospects, (b) the Sage 100 and Sage 100 consultants (approx 1,600), and (c) certain Sage employees (maybe 80 but they never read). The image below shows the stats for the February 1st Mailchimp blast to the Sage 100/300 channel.
