A spokesperson also confirmed the company will introduce Sage Intacct to new markets as a core part of its sales strategy. As to Financials, the statement continued, “We will continue to support the product for existing customers, ensuring it remains compliant.” One report says Sage stopped selling the product in North America last year and informed international channel members last week about the product’s demise. Before the official statement was made, there was a great deal of discussion about the decision on LinkedIn by CRM consultants. One termed the decision the "correct, but brave move." Financials, built on the Salesforce platform, always seemed to be a product with little promise. Introduced as Sage Life in May 2015. At the time, it seemed like Sage was writing code while it was promoting the product’s debut. Doug Labhan, now an executive at Xero was global VP of product marketing for Sage Life from February through November 2015. By July that year, Sage had changed the name to Sage Live. It was denied as being the reason but I always thought my comment that maintenance programs for the product would be called “Life Support” had an impact.
