What is Accelerator+?

Accelerator+ is designed to address the issue around "concurrent" users in Sage CRM, who want to use our Outlook Integration.


Concurrent licenses in Sage CRM are designed for intermittent use of Sage CRM but people do not use Outlook in the same way. Most users will be in email all of the time and expect connection to Sage CRM to be automatic. Accelerator licenses are always named.

With Accelerator Pro and a Sage CRM concurrent license we cannot guarantee that they will be able to log on and so this would provide a sub-optimal user experience. To circumvent this, we created Accelerator+ which has its own "user" and can be mapped to a CRM user or resource so the data is stored correctly. There are some differences around behaviour as below.
