TOP 100 VARS 2019: THE CLOUD RULES

For resellers, the issue now is meeting user needs and making money, not worrying about whether software is in the cloud. Certainly, there are many thousands of on-premise mid-market accounting systems in use and a decent number are being sold. But the action is in the cloud and it is a matter of features, which is what users really care about. The issue is which product is better at handling nonprofits, which is good for businesses with inventory, which best suits professional services and which delve into highly specialized markets. In the fact, the thought did not even occur this year to count how many of the Top 100 2019 VARs carry cloud products. It was just assumed they all do. That is why this year’s theme is “The Cloud Rules” If you are not in the cloud game, you are not really in the game.

THE 2014 VAR STARS: CLOUDIER

- Written by Bob Scott
This was somewhat the year of the cloud when it comes to the 2014 VAR Stars. A majority of them carry cloud products, a bare majority. But for those selected for the latest class of 100 resellers that handle mid-market financial software products, it was a year in which good performance was the clear story. But the cloud is gaining momentum and VARs that are doing well increasing do so by adding their own software products based on mainline ERP packages. And many made the list by doing the things that work well--executing good business practices. So without further fanfare, you can see this year's VAR Stars by following the link and downloading the special report.
