CLOUD RISES IN THE TOP 100

Top 100 LogoIn last year's list of Bob Scott's Top 100 VARs, 21 of the resellers carried cloud products. This year, 33 from the list have started carrying SaaS accounting applications. And that number is going to increase rapidly.

The Top 100 shows that 19 members carry Intacct, seven NetSuite, seven SAP's Business ByDesign and five Acumatica. Some carry multiple products.The Intacct showing reflects the work of Taylor Macdonald and Peyton Burch and Macdonald's firing a few years ago by Sage is probably one of the most expensive decisions it has made in this century. As for the ability of Sage and Microsoft to catch up on the ERP side? It's starting to get later earlier in the pace of technology change.
