Demo Video for Job Ops Solution for Sage ERP 100 (MAS90 and MAS200)
Here is a current detailed video of Jobops. This is a solution that Clients First Business Solutions focuses on and is built to adapt Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 (Now Sage ERP 100) to the needs of Make to Order, Engineer to Order and Configure to Order manufacturers. It still handles the needs of Make to Stock manufacturers as well.
It also has modules for full Field Service Functionality along with advanced finite capacity drag and drop scheduling.
This solution is built in the same code base as MAS so it looks and feels like the rest of the solution and uses the same data. It is not a loosely integrated “bolt on.”

90 Minds Consulting Group is an independent collaboration of ERP and CRM consultants. Group members consult primarily on Sage products though products from Epicor, Microsoft , SAP and Open Systems are also offered by members.
Sage is rebranding most products in its portfolio to be consistent with their naming conventions worldwide. However, there may be some confusion as, for example, Sage has a product in the UK called Sage 100 ERP and what we know as MAS 90 today will become Sage 100. The two products are completely different but Sage’s hope is that they are different customer sets and the confusion will be minimal…. Only time will tell.
MAS90 and MAS200 Renaming
Relative to Clients First clients, the new names that will affect most of our clients are :
Old Name
New Name
MAS 90
Sage 100 ERP Standard
MAS 200
Sage 100 ERP Advanced
MAS 200 SQL
Sage 100 ERP Premium
MAS 500
Sage 500 ERP
This rebranding shouldn’t have much affect on our clients, but clearly you may be surprised to see these new names and new terms. Please call us if you have any questions about this.
Here is the full listing of the product name changes for your reference:
Thanks to Wayne Schulz for pointing out the availability.
This new roadmap document outlines the next 2 years or so of development. There are a number of valuable enhancements moving into MAS 4.5 which many of our clients and prospects have been looking for, for quite some time.
It looks as if the next major release, MAS 90 5.0 will be focused on stronger real time web integration, starting to create some pre-packaged workflows such as Purchase Order approvals. This release looks to be end of 2012/early 2013.
It will also include the ability to automatically download patches and updates, although not likely install full blown upgrades.
