You may remember that I refused to attend last year's Summit after being told the press would not be allowed to attend reseller events. This year, I was told since I didn't attend last year's event I conference there's no space for me this, partly because I said the show was useless, which it is if you can't cover the subjects of interest to your market. In October, I wrote that Sage was creating a Global Partner Program for Sage One, Live, Impact and X3 and for all ISVs. I am assuming this extends the program to the mid-market products. I also wrote about the updated margins at the time. Of course, last year, the channel was led by the highly regarded, but short-tenured Rich Spring. After that, the people running the channel program apparently saw their shadows and have been waiting in a tunnel for spring.
