Sage 100 Contractor Hosting, perfected daily since 2010.
Sage 100 Contractor hosting is our niche. We’ve worked with Sage 100 Contractor since 1996, hosted it in the cloud since 2010, and continue improving our Microsoft Azure Managed Cloud platform every day so your team can work from anywhere — fast, secure, and without an office server or VPN.
Hosted by people who actually know Sage 100 Contractor.
Generic cloud hosts rent you a generic Windows box and point fingers at Sage whenever printing, SQL speed, or tax updates stall. Syscon’s Managed Cloud team sits under the exact same roof as our 30-year Sage 100 Contractor consultants and Gold Development Partner software engineers.
We run your environment on modern Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts right beside your dedicated SQL Server, with containerized FSLogix user profiles, multi-monitor desktop & RemoteApp delivery, OneDrive/SharePoint Files On-Demand, nightly backups, and Sage 100 Contractor version upgrades handled for you.

Hosting questions contractors ask first.
Plain-English answers on running Sage 100 Contractor in Microsoft Azure, upgrades, add-ons, and tenant choices.
How long has Syscon been hosting and supporting Sage 100 Contractor?
Syscon has worked directly with Master Builder and Sage 100 Contractor since 1996 and has hosted Sage 100 Contractor in the cloud since 2010. Our cloud engineers work on our Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop and FSLogix hosting platform daily to keep improving speed, stability, security, and day-to-day user experience.
Why is Azure Virtual Desktop faster and more reliable for Sage 100 Contractor than a traditional VPN?
Sage 100 Contractor is a chatty SQL desktop application — running it over a site-to-site or laptop VPN drags database traffic across office internet connections and stalls grids and reports. In Syscon Managed Cloud, the Windows session host sits right next to your Sage SQL Server inside Microsoft Azure, so only encrypted screen pixels and keystrokes travel to your laptop, Mac, or browser.
Who handles Sage 100 Contractor version upgrades, tax updates, and nightly backups in Syscon Managed Cloud?
Syscon handles all virtual machine maintenance, Windows patching, nightly company and user profile backups, and Sage 100 Contractor application upgrades for you. Because our cloud engineers and Sage 100 Contractor consultants sit on the same team, upgrades and year-end tax releases are coordinated without vendor finger-pointing.
Can we run Syscon One, FIT System, Sage Paperless, Bluebeam, or Microsoft Excel alongside hosted Sage 100 Contractor?
Yes. Hosted users work in a rich multi-monitor Windows 10/11 desktop or seamless RemoteApp session with full OneDrive and SharePoint Files On-Demand support, local printer redirection, and dedicated SQL capacity options for add-ons like Syscon One, the FIT System, and Sage Paperless Construction.
What is the difference between the Syscon Tenant and Private Tenant hosting options?
In our Syscon Tenant, your dedicated cloud resources run inside Syscon’s managed Azure environment with a cloud-specific login (for example, JSmith@syscon-cloud.com) — fast and cost-effective for smaller teams. In a Private Tenant, resources live inside your own Microsoft Azure tenant tied directly to your regular Microsoft 365 identity, ideal for larger teams, heavier SQL workloads, or co-managed IT.
