SWK Technologies serves as a Strategic Hosting Provider for the Sage Partner Cloud (SPC), overseeing the transition of Sage ERP users to a cloud-based environment. Under the SPC program, Sage customers using Sage 100 or Sage 300 are presented with various hosting options, enabling them to host their software in a private cloud environment.
Hosting services are offered through certified Sage VARs (value-added resellers) with expertise in secure cloud operations, including SWK Technologies. While the Sage Partner Cloud specifically caters to Sage 100 or Sage 300 ERP users, businesses utilizing another Sage accounting system such as Sage 50 or Sage 500 – or an integration such as Sage HRMS or Sage Fixed Assets (FAS) – can opt for Secure Cloud Hosting by SWK. These options provide flexibility and customization for businesses seeking to transition their Sage software solutions to a cloud-based infrastructure.
With a proven track record of assisting thousands of Sage 100 and Sage 300 customers, SWK Technologies is committed to helping businesses maximize the value of their Sage ERP hosting investment. Our team works closely with clients to ensure that their Sage implementation delivers the full spectrum of benefits, extending beyond initial setup to ongoing support and optimization.
Here’s a brief overview of what your options are when hosting Sage ERP.
What is the Sage Partner Cloud?
Originally designed as on-premise ERP systems, Sage 100 and Sage 300 have evolved with the Sage Business Cloud, enabling them to become “cloud-connected.” Despite this development, they still operate within legacy architecture. Migrating data and components, including ISV integrations, to a cloud environment requires a cloud service provider (CSP) capable of accommodating the unique requirements of a Sage software implementation. As a CSP, SWK assists both Sage ERP users and Sage Partners with clients on Sage 100 or Sage 300 in transitioning to a cloud environment. Migration options include Microsoft Azure or SWK’s accredited cloud platform, both meeting security compliance standards established by Sage for the Sage Partner Cloud Program.
Sage Partner Cloud (SCP) Hosting Options
Option 1: Using the Sage Provisioning Portal (SPP) to host your ERP through a third-party service on Microsoft Azure or AWS (Amazon Web Services) with a separate subscription.
This option involves hosting your ERP through a third-party service on Microsoft Azure or AWS (Amazon Web Services) with a separate subscription. The Sage Provisioning Portal is Sage’s own solution, built by Sage themselves, which means you will be hosting the software with help from the same company that built it. Third-party hosting providers offer a wide range of hosting services for software applications, websites, or data storage on their infrastructure. By outsourcing server management and IT infrastructure responsibilities to these providers, businesses can focus on core operations while benefiting from services such as server upkeep, maintenance, security, and technical support. Examples of third-party hosting providers include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and various managed hosting companies.
