What has changed with MAS90 and MAS200 throughout the past version updates

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

I found a well hidden section on the Sage website that outlines all of the enhancements that has occurred with every release going all the way back to version 3.50 (circa 1997)

I turned this section into a PDF document that you can take with you.  It goes all the way up to the brand new Version 4.40 release that you will be receiving this week if you are current on maintenance.

You can download it HERE.

Gotham Sales Company

imagesGotham Sales is in the business of eliminating stress. It’s a company that specializes in warranties for all the appliances you buy for your home: refrigerators, dishwashers, television sets, personal computers, and even DVD players and portable stereos. Gotham sells these extended warranties to your local retailer. In addition, Gotham is a manufacturer’s representative for many well-known brands of consumer appliances, including Fedders and AESP Connectivity Products.

The Problem

Several years ago, most of the big appliance manufacturers switched their distribution strategies, to cut out the “middleman.” They started going through direct channels to retailers, eliminating the need for distributors and representatives who had been marketing their products for decades. Firms like Gotham found themselves out in the cold, with large payrolls and expensive mainframes that no longer made sense. Fortunately, Gotham had plenty of warranty work to keep a leaner, meaner business going strong. But the change in corporate direction required a rethinking of the company’s staffing and information systems. Due to layoffs of IS personnel, it suddenly became necessary for non-computer professionals to handle information management. Gotham Sales had been using MAS 90 on their UNIX system and they were very happy with it. But they were worried about how the software would function if they moved to networked PCs.  Could they transfer files without a system failure or loss of data?  Would MAS 90 be hard to learn on Windows?  Would it be as reliable as their old system?

Breaking News.  Apparently according to this letter, Solution Strategists of Cranford NJ is selling their Sage practice/client base to Net@Work out of New York City.  Apparently, Art Nathan, the President, needs to address health concerns relating to his wife who was also his partner.  (Our best wishes on this issue as I’ve known both of them for 15+ years. Our prayers are with them both)

ERP Optimization & Lean: A Winning Strategy in Challenging Times

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Introduction

Companies today are faced with two major hurdles. Doing business in a fiercely competitive global environment and challenging economic times. To survive and prosper organizations must employ new technologies and techniques at a velocity that may challenge the very fiber of their company. They will be required to establish seamless integration from their customers, internally into manufacturing, and out to their suppliers. In other words, the integration must wholly link all of the finite elements comprising the total supply chain.

The ability to adapt to change in the way they plan, manage and operate will set apart the winners apart from the losers. This will require a sharp focus on achieving excellence in all areas of the business. Company leaders will need to develop a strong bond across the value chain to achieve this high standard of excellence and effectiveness.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the strategic tool that equips the enterprise with the necessary capabilities to integrate and synchronize the isolated islands within their companies into efficient and streamlined business processes and workflows. Further, world-class organizations take it one step further by linking their ERP deployment to the processes and tenets of Lean Manufacturing and Lean Supply Chain Management.
