Below are two videos explaining the details of the new Sage MAS 200 SQL 4.45. This is a completely new SQL product for the MAS product line relative to the old MAS 200 SQL 3.74. It uses the business framework and is much faster and more efficient due to the normalized data structures used within MAS200’s Business Framework introduced in 4.0.
The first video is a powerpoint and presentation on the solution and the second is an actual product demonstration.
Note that this version is ONLY available for sale to new MAS90/200 customers. You cannot buy it if you currently run MAS90/200. This is because they haven’t written a data migration utility yet.
In addition it only works with Business Framework modules. This means if you depend on either payroll, work order, MRP (Material Requirements Planning), or Job Cost, even when the conversion is available, this won’t work for you.
Currently there is no integration with Sage CRM (i.e. Extended Enterprise Suite), fixed assets and it is not yet compatible with Sage MAS Intelligence or FRx. This means you financial reporting will be limited to the standard financial reports in the GL.
Sage should have most of these issues (other than the old modules that we don’t believe they are ever going to upgrade) addressed in version 4.5 which is slated for Q3 2011.
