Sage MAS 90 & MAS 200 ERP Software News & Tips
It's a Beautiful Thing When It All Comes Together
We recently returned from Denver after attending the annual Sage Insights conference. As usual, the event was filled with excitement surrounding new product and program announcements, as well as dialogue about the road ahead for the MAS 90 and MAS 200 ERP products.
As a pre-cursor to the conference, we spent 1-1/2 days with the SageCRM team taking a deep dive into the product, and more importantly examining the wealth of benefits associated with a tightly integrated ERP/CRM system. As you know, tightly coupling the back end of a business (accounting, production, service, etc.) with the front end of the business (sales and marketing) is not always an easy task. There can be many obstacles to the seamless flow of information and communication — not the least of which might be your current business systems and tools.
You may be aware that Sage offers a product called Extended Enterprise Suite (EES) that is designed to help you bring the back office and front office worlds together. EES is comprised of Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 integrated with SageCRM. It truly is a beautiful thing when it all comes together.
Sage realizes that many of you purchased MAS 90 or MAS 200 prior to the EES offering being available. Yet they know how empowering the CRM component can be to your business and so they are making available an option to migrate from your MAS 90 or MAS 200 platform to the MAS 90 EES or MAS 200 EES platform which would include SageCRM.
You may be wondering what the difference would be using EES or what's in it for you. Those are good questions and we have a couple of illustrations, and even a quick little animated video that will help shed some light on it from a high level perspective.
