A Note from the Team at Kissinger
November is a time for reflection and gratitude, and we’re grateful for you! We couldn’t do what we do without your partnership. Here’s a look at what’s new, what’s next, and a few things we’re especially proud of this quarter.
Windows 10 End-of-Life: What Sage 100 Users Need to Know
Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10 — and if you’re running Sage 100 on it, it’s time to start planning your next steps. Without updates or security patches, Windows 10 will become increasingly risky to use, and Sage 100 won’t be officially supported on it going forward.
The good news? Moving to Windows 11 and an updated Sage 100 version can be a smooth transition with the right plan in place.

Reflections from Evolution ’25
We recently had the chance to sponsor and exhibit at Dame Leadership’s Evolution ’25 Conference, and it was a great day of learning and connection. More than 600 leaders came together to share ideas about teamwork, communication, and what it takes to lead effectively in a changing world.
Our favorite takeaways? Jon Acuff’s “Dream, Plan, Do, Review” approach to staying focused, and Sarita Maybin’s insights on communication and teamwork — both simple but powerful reminders for how we can work and lead better.
We also enjoyed meeting so many new faces (and reconnecting with familiar ones) at our booth and throughout the day. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat — we left energized and inspired.
