SendGrid – An Alternative!

Back in October, Microsoft made the smart move to turn off a security risk. Sage was ready for this change, allowing the SendGrid alternative to email Payroll Vouchers.

So here’s what happened next (and an alternative we’re offering):

• Sage hardcoded that when you send one of these, the sender receives a copy, creating two ‘sends’ for each person, pushing many of our clients over the ‘free’ limit.
• Even the paid version has some limits – when you unblock a provider (like Verizon), it’s not ‘locked in’ since these are not dedicated IP addresses.
• Support is limited with the basic paid version.
• You have to manage your own account.

We hear you!

We’re offering a Syscon SendGrid service. Here’s how it works and why you’ll want to consider making the switch (great looking grid recap below):

• We have purchased a high-level SendGrid account which provides higher level support.
• With this level of service, we have dedicated IP addresses, so once things are unblocked, they’ll stay that way.
• We can continue to be your first call for support and issues! No more sitting on hold with the vendor.
• At $15/month, you’ll have better service through us and a better experience, all at a cost savings!

The fee to make the move to this service is $50, one-time. For our hosted and fully managed clients, we’ll waive the $50 charge to switch you from your existing account to our service.
