SilverSun Technologies, parent to Sage reseller SWK Technologies, saw a 3.7-percent dip in revenue for the second quarter ended June 30. But the Livingston, N.J.-based VAR, which represents all of SilverSun’s operations turned in a 35.7-percent increase in revenue. Net income was $59,890 in the most recently ended period, down from $62,185 a year earlier. Revenue hit $5.3 million, compared to $3.9 million in last year’s corresponding period. The company said software and consulting revenue increase primarily because of implementations of Sage X3.

Saleslogix's most recent owner, Swiftpage, is selling the product line to Infor. Swiftpage will concentrate on Act, purchased from Sage along with Saleslogix, in February 2013. Infor will launch industry-specific products as it backs away from Inforce CRM. In a prepared statement, Swiftpage, H. John Oechsle, said that “We can now fully focus on our core ‘DNA’ of helping micro and small businesses grow.” Sounds like a good move; SalesLogix and Act fit very differently in the market and I’ve been told on my than one occasion by Sage resellers that SalesLogix is  more high end than you’d think.

Reckon, an Australia company that markets low-end accounting software, is developing a version of its cloud-based Reckon One for the United Kingdom. That was outlined in the company’s report of results for the first half ended June 30. “Investment in developing and establishing an infrastructure for a UK product has commenced,” the report said. It raises the specter of Reckon One, which competes with MYOB and Xero in its homeland, of going up against Xero and Sage One in the British Commonwealth motherland. Meanwhile, Intuit, whose products were formerly distributed down under by Reckon, will be entering Australia next year and Sage is expected to join the fight in the Outback Corral.
