What You Need to Know
In the ever-evolving landscape of business software, staying up-to-date with the latest changes is crucial for maintaining productivity and ensuring seamless operations.
One significant update that has recently come to light is Sage’s decision to retire the Microsoft 365 Connector and Office 365 Contacts. For businesses relying on these tools for integration and contact management, this announcement may raise concerns and questions about the future.
What Are the Microsoft 365 Connector and Office 365 Contacts?
The Microsoft 365 Connector and Office 365 Contacts enabled the integration between Sage 100 and Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365). These connectors allowed businesses to view
Recent invoices and payments
Credit information
Contacts’ name, address, phone, and email
Customer memos
The integration made it easier to manage financial data, customer information, and communications all in one place, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing the risk of errors.
While the retirement of these tools may initially seem disruptive, there is an alternative available right now called Accelerator for Sage 100 published by CRM Together.
Accelerator for Sage 100 delivers on the ability to view and search Sage 100 data from Microsoft Outlook but critically does not require a Sage 100 license thereby extending the reach of Sage 100 data company – wide without fear of data corruption or security breaches.
