Cloud Hosting Options for Sage 100
Sage 100 isn't a pure SaaS product, but it can be deployed in several cloud and hosted configurations. Here's what the options look like.
Unlike pure cloud-native ERP platforms, Sage 100 was originally designed for on-premise deployment — but it can be deployed in several cloud and hosted configurations depending on a business's infrastructure preferences.
On-Premise
Sage 100 runs on a server you own and maintain, either on-site or in a colocation facility. This gives full control over infrastructure but requires internal IT resources (or a managed service provider) for server maintenance, backups, and security.
Private Cloud Hosting via Sage-Authorized Hosting Partners
Sage 100 can be hosted by third-party hosting providers, where the Sage 100 application and database run on infrastructure managed by the hosting provider, accessed remotely by users. This shifts server maintenance responsibility to the hosting provider while keeping the same Sage 100 application.
Remote Access to On-Premise Installations
Businesses can also keep Sage 100 on-premise while providing remote access for users — via VPN, remote desktop, or similar technologies — without moving the underlying infrastructure to a hosting provider.
What to Consider When Choosing
The right deployment model depends on internal IT capacity, existing infrastructure investments, disaster recovery requirements, and how distributed your user base is (single office versus multiple locations or remote staff). Migrating between deployment models — for example, from on-premise to hosted — is a project that should be planned similarly to a version upgrade, with attention to data migration and any infrastructure-dependent integrations.
Is Sage 100 available as a cloud-hosted solution?
Yes. While Sage 100 isn't a pure SaaS platform, it can be deployed on-premise, hosted through Sage-authorized hosting partners, or accessed remotely from an on-premise installation — giving businesses flexibility in how they deploy it based on infrastructure preferences.
