New Ways to Interact with your Data - Sage SData
Sage has been working on a new version of Sage Accpac, v6.0 and a new version of Sage CRM, v7.0 which is scheduled to come out some time before the summer of 2010. This new “next generation” of Accpac will come with a Web 2.0 interface. Have a look at Sage Accpac vision and product plan white paper to learn more.
With this new release, Sage Accpac will be implementing something called Sage SData. Sage SData is a new data layer for Sage products that will allow some extremely powerful integration between products, allowing you to access and modify data from different applications quite easily using common web standards. For example, this will enable you to easily be able to access Sage Accpac accounting data from within Sage CRM with a simple point and click interface or quickly lookup information from your iPhone or blackberry. Have a look at the Sage CRM demo of SData that covers creating widgets that include Sage Accpac ERP data as an example.
This is going to open up some extremely interesting opportunities in the Sage product market.
