The Future of FRx

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Confused about the future of FRx?

Want to find out more about Sage MAS Intelligence (SMI)?

As a means of continuous improvement to the reporting technology and changes within Microsoft, we have some exciting news for you. Sage MAS Intelligence has been introduced into the MAS family as its standard financial reporting tool. What does that mean for you? It means that Sage will be replacing your existing FRx licenses with Sage MAS Intelligence (SMI). Automatic Shipment of this software begins in October.

What is SMI and how will this impact reporting?

In the short term, you will have the ability to use both FRx and SMI. Your support for FRx will NOT change.

SMI is based on the familiar Microsoft Excel application. You will be able to create reports and analyze data as before but with some additional program capabilities. Instead of access being limited to just General Ledger, you will have access to all modules and data. You will be able to build your reports in Excel rather than creating the report in one program and then exporting to Excel.

Sage MAS Intelligence will be available for customers on MAS90/200 version 4.4, MAS500 version 7.3, and MAS90/200 Extended Enterprise Suite version 1.4.

Again… FRx support is not being abandoned. Support will be available during the transition between FRx and SMI.

There is a great deal of information to be shared and questions to be answered. We have asked Debbie Hill, a Solution Engineer at Sage, to assist us in presenting this information to you. We will be hosting two webinars to review the changes and what they mean to you. The first session will be a general overview of the Sage MAS Intelligence and how the licensing and support are going to be handled. The second session will be a more in depth look at Sage MAS Intelligence. We invite you to attend one or both of these sessions.

Sage MAS Intelligence and the retirement of FRx

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010 at 9:00am

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010 at 1:00pm

Sage MAS Intelligence – Make it work for you!

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010 at 1:00pm

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 at 9:00am

Please call us at 1-888-222-8827 and ask for Lisa deKat at extension 111 or Mary Walsh at extension 319 to register for these webinars. Or you can email us at Ldekat@clientsfirst-us.com or mwalsh@clientsfirst-us.com.

Look for more information on upcoming Sage MAS Intelligence Workshops in November – Please call to inquire.

We appreciate your business and want to make sure you utilize all the benefits of your product enhancements. Please call or email us if you have any specific questions about Sage MAS Intelligence.
