But from comments posted on one LinkedIn Group for Sage employees, resellers and alumni, more than anything else it raised questions about Sage's relationship to its channel. And there are still questions about the reasons for the exodus of key executives this year and Sage's ability to hang onto key people Another reseller, who did not want to be quoted by name had this reaction, "Prior to this event, I was anticipating a fantastic meeting in which the new CEO would unveil his plans for the company and provide explanations for some of the strange decisions that have been made recently. Needless to say, I was disappointed!"  Moreover, last month, Tom Miller, Sage's channel VP, said talks with the channel were winning over resellers who had been upset by the upcoming rebranding of the Sage product line. If anything, Houillon's talk stirred the pot again. And when I asked one key reseller his reaction to rebranding, he said given the questions about personnel change and the direction of product development, rebranding was the least of his worries.
