Updated MAS90 & MAS200 Product Roadmap.

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

roadmap Thanks to Wayne Shulz for his blog entry covering Sage’s quietly updated product roadmap.  The main difference is they have made the end of 2010 update all about payroll compliance and kept new functionality out.

It also explains how FRx will be replaced by the new Sage ERP MAS Intelligence get’s rolled out.  This new tool is similar to the old F9, except that it talks to all modules, not just the General Ledger.  You use Excel to build your reports and it populates them.

Below is a copy of the actual presentation.

Free MAS 90 and MAS 200 Consulting…I don’t think so..

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

You may have seen claims like THIS

In this article, a company claims to offer free consulting for Sage MAS90 and MAS200.  We all know nothing in life is free.  They are simply offering to come out on a sales…um, I mean ‘consulting’ call to tell you what it will cost to upgrade your system…as long as you’re currently with another reseller.  This is something all VAR’s and resellers do, but don’t have the audacity to call it ‘free consulting’.

And to think a real publication picked up this self idolizing propoganda press release as actual ‘news.’  It really must be a slow news day in technology land.

So, it’s just a reminder, anything that is ‘free’ is usually has a hitch.  For example, the claim of 0% financing, (which likely only applies to super cash rich companies that can still get a lease) is simply the software being discounted, something often done today, but that discount is being paid to a leasing company.

Hope this helps clarify things!
