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!

The Detailed Requirements Analysis (DRA) Process

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

When a company makes the decision to implement a new business management and accounting system, a key part of the process is for that company to understand, as fully as possible, what it expects to gain from the new system.  Expected benefits, what existing (and desired) business processes will be managed in the new system, how will users interact with the system and many other questions must be answered in order to optimize the project’s success.

At Clients First, we have developed a system for evaluating business needs and making confident, well-informed recommendations regarding products and functionality.  It is the Detailed Requirements Analysis or DRA.  The DRA (sometimes referred to as a “Needs Analysis”) is a process where we collaborate with our clients to identify what system capabilities are truly important for their business.
