- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
- Prior Experience with the Product
I have been using program since 1988 when it was Simply Accounting

Change management was minimal - do not rely on tech support
- People do not like change and will fight it if they can.
Sage 50 Support
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
None | Slow Resolution Poor followup Less knowledgeable Problems left unsolved Not kept informed Escalation required Difficult to get immediate help Need to explain problems multiple times Support doesn't seem to care Slow Initial Response |
Not Available - I have people calling me from all over Canada for support issues that Sage has told them they can't do. I get it done, and clients are happy. Why call and sit on line for ever for no results.
Yes - never, never
No, but I can tell you when I gave Sage solutions for their product.

Yes - I am in the process of testing it for a service company at this time. When I called for info on the product, I was told by customer service it did not exists. So I went looking on the internet and found one.
