• Makes navigation easier with customized fonts on the desktop and task windows as well as customizable desktop themes and color schemes
• Improves security by allowing users to access only authorized information
• Shows persistent web content and gives you fast access to commonly-used websites.

When announcing Sage 100cloud at Sage Summit in 2015, Sage said,

Sage 100cloud will give you the freedom to stay with the trusted solution that you've counted on for years. You'll have the confidence to leverage new technology at your own pace without disrupting your business.

Who Can Use Sage 100cloud and When?

Sage 100cloud is available now! If you're a Sage 100 user on a maintenance plan, you can upgrade to either Sage 100 2016 or Sage 100cloud. If you're a new user or not on a maintenance plan, you can upgrade directly to Sage 100cloud.

Sage says:

When you move to Sage 100cloud, you’ll benefit from a modernized user experience that will shorten your learning curve and increase your efficiency. And because you’re already using Sage 100, you’ll get it all without disrupting your current workflow.
