We were awestruck when Sir Richard Branson talked about his [Virgin Galactic project](https://west.exch026.serverdata.net/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=n2JJKSHrx0RoNkgawUWJ6s5Fk71nVXaJoF_bc3ByOjVZWuqK5bzTCGgAdAB0AHAAOgAvAC8AdwB3AHcALgB2AGkAcgBnAGkAbgBnAGEAbABhAGMAdABpAGMALgBjAG8AbQAvAHcAaABvAC0AdwBlAC0AYQByAGUALwA.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.virgingalactic.com%2fwho-we-are%2f), and Gwyneth Paltrow showed how, through self-education and tenacity, you can become a business owner with a purpose.   If you couldn't make it to Chicago, we want to share a recap of [Sage Summit 2016](https://west.exch026.serverdata.net/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=lW1xlXBvfUTaCb-zbqE8I1EaRn2YSuaW6xs8EIqQpbBZWuqK5bzTCGgAdAB0AHAAcwA6AC8ALwB3AHcAdwAuAHMAYQBnAGUALgBjAG8AbQAvAHMAYQBnAGUALQBzAHUAbQBtAGkAdAAvAA..&URL=https%3a%2f%2fwww.sage.com%2fsage-summit%2f), along with what's coming down the pipeline, community commitments, and what you can expect to see from Sage in the next year and beyond. ## Key Takeaways from Sage Summit In Chicago, we learned about Sage, of course – they seem to have gone back to their roots as a technology company, and it showed in all the things they presented as well as in their mantra to leap-frog the competition through innovation.   **There were other major key takeaways from Sage Strategic Vision, including that:**   - ANY existing customer can remain on their current ERP and continue to receive support as long as they are a Sage customer. - Sage partnered with Salesforce and built a full cloud solution called Sage Live that can virtually connect to any system built on the same platform. This means that businesses won't have to build so many integrations. - Sage has moved to an internal human capital management (HCM) system. - Sage Enterprise Management People, an HRM system that is fully developed using the Sage Enterprise Management development tools, will be available with all taxes, payroll, and compliance for the U.S. market by the middle of 2017. ## What We Love About Sage Summit ![southeast computer solutions at sage summit](https://blog.southeastcomputers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Social_Media/IMG_0886.jpg?width=320&name=IMG_0886.jpg "southeast computer solutions at sage summit") Sage Summit is special for our team. Obviously, we enjoy the speakers and the learning opportunities, but we also take time each year to host a happy hour for our clients. It's a great opportunity to thank them for entrusting us with their business needs as well as an opportunity to foster our relationships on a deeper level. During Sage Summit, our own Jordan Berkowitz was interviewed by Sage. Jordan has been with our team for just over a year, so if you're new to Southeast Computer Solutions, or new to Jordan, take a moment to "meet" him. ### [<< Click Here to Watch Jordan's Interview at Sage Summit >>](https://southeast-computer-solutions.wistia.com/medias/5cjt2ovktd)   ## The Importance of "The Giving Economy" Sage and Virgin’s commitment to the international communities was also moving. Through “The Giving Economy,” they showed how you can make a positive impact on people’s lives just by being present. We are inspired to begin investing in such projects ourselves, and we plan to discuss doing so during next month’s quarterly meetings. As for us, we are grateful that Sage Summit brought Southeast Computer Solutions out as a human-size organization with a Fortune 500-size heart! Our customers appreciated our reactivity and honesty and we made ourselves even greater by being involved in the conference. Those 4 days have had a truly positive impact – overall, Sage Summit was a huge success!
