Giving Sage Business Partners the POWER OF CHOICE
Cloud-based tools are one of the biggest business advantages to emerge in the past decade. By the end of 2020, it’s expected that 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud. It’s no surprise considering the increased productivity, collaboration and reduction of IT costs these solutions readily bring.
Many small and medium businesses (SMBs) are currently seeking out ways to start hosting their Sage accounting and business apps, smartly hoping to untether themselves from the limitations of being office-bound. That doesn’t come without challenges! One of them being finding the best Sage cloud hosting pricing plan that also aligns with a company’s specific needs. Servers, storage, migration costs — all are important factors to consider.
It’s in this context that Swizznet is excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with Sage to provide a hosted subscription model that you as a Sage business partner can offer your clients alongside traditional on-premise and Sage SaaS solutions. The additional option gives you the POWER OF CHOICE in helping clients decide which way to go in purchasing Sage software.
Introducing Swizznet Optimum for Sage
Previously, Sage business partners and Swizznet collaborated to design custom virtual server solutions composed of user fees, application servers, terminal servers, storage and the like. With Swizznet Optimum for Sage, we’ve taken our years of joint experience designing these solutions to build a simplified per-user pricing model that includes all the resources most companies need to succeed in the cloud. There’s no longer a need to architect the hosting environment, as we’ve taken care of it and will keep it optimized for you for free, so there’s no longer a concern over surprise or unexpected fees.
The hosting package provided by Swizznet Optimum complements Sage’s recent introduction of a subscription model for Sage 100 Contractor and Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate (CRE). A Sage subscription plus Swizznet hosting means business partners can offer clients a new package and approach that delivers all the familiar features of Sage’s construction solutions but with the benefits of a hosted subscription model in the cloud.
