Blytheco has introduced the bly:Connector, a tool that integrates Sage 100 with SugarCRM. Blytheco, of course, is Sage’s top North America reseller that early last year got into the cloud, picking up both SugarCRM and the cloud. I don’t know if there’s anything to the timing that Sage sold off SalesLogix and Act and only has SageCRM left in that part of its product arsenal.

The selection of the 2013 class of Bob Scott's Top 100 VARs is scheduled for publication on Friday, April 26. The information will be available as a downloadable PDF available on this website. Without giving away much, it's safe to say that there are several new names, about 10 percent of the list, which continues to be reshaped by cloud applications and by companies that are making a more serious effort in the midmarket channel. Or it may just mean that after all these years, I am finally figuring out who is really important. As always, the selection is accompanied by a discussion of issues that affected the market in 2012 and are moving it in 2013.

- News and Analysis
- Written by PMG Admin
Microsoft has reported that Dynamics revenue for the third quarter ended March 31 was up 13 percent over the prior year. On that note, we have almost exhausted the information the company provided in its 10-Q and none of the discussion in this week's webcast touched upon that business. Dynamics is part of the Microsoft Business Division, which exists only for reporting purposes. That fictional unit had a revenue increase of 8 percent for the period just ended.
