Sage Software has unveiled its new Sage MAS 90 and 200 Extended Enterprise Suite, which offers small and medium-sized business customers access to financial, operational, customer relations, and business intelligence applications.

The Sage MAS Extended Enterprise Suite provides employees in sales, service, finance, operations, and management with an integrated 360-degree view of business operations through embedded front-office and back-office functionality. At the heart of the suite, Sage MAS 90 and 200 ERP and Sage MAS Fixed Assets provide back-office financial and operations functionality. Embedded SageCRM supports front-office sales, service, and marketing automation, while Business Insights Explorer and the Business Insights Dashboard provide business analysis functions.

By enabling business information to flow between different functional areas of a company, the Sage MAS Extended Enterprise Suite empowers every employee to improve the bottom line. For example, salespeople using the customer relationship management (CRM) functionality have instant visibility into inventory levels, credit holds, purchasing cycles, and more. This visibility improves each salesperson’s effectiveness. Additionally, the Sage MAS Extended Enterprise Suite gives marketing personnel visibility into warehouse overstocks, so promotions can be designed to improve inventory turnover

MAS 90 Utility:

Beginning with version 4.1 of Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 the customer master file  holds detailed monthly sales totals. In prior versions this data was only retained for one period using a PTD designation. This new level of detail is helpful to companies who are asking “what sales volume did my customer have last year during the month of February”.

This new feature works exceptionally well except that when MAS90 converts data it will lump most of the totals together in prior years to the last fiscal period. Instead of separating out the historical detail it creates lump sums for conversions. Moving forward the details are tracked apprpriately.

Thankfully Randy Marion at Martin and Associates came up with what must be the worlds most helpful utility. His software does one thing. It recalculates prior history for both customers and vendors and places those totals into the correct monthly column on the respective master file.

As with any recalc process, it is advisable to create a backup prior to execution of this utility. Additionally, it is advisable, but not mandatory, to rebuild the keys of the following list of files for EACH company prior to execution. An exception to this rebuild recommendation is if this data is freshly or recently converted from any version with legacy (.SOA) file structure.

The utility is simple to install and use. Move on program file into the SOA folder, execute it by logging into MAS 90, running Syzcon and run
“arapfxv2”. It’s that easy. I’ve done this dozens of times with clients. Never an error message. The utility runs smoothly each and every time.

This utility is must have that can be used by resellers during an upgrade to correctly display various sales and purchase history for data acquired prior to version 4.10 or 4.2 in Sage MAS 90 or 200 ERP. This tool recalculates data in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable to correctly reflect Sales and Purchase istory. This is accomplished by scanning all the appropriate history files and accumulating the various totals in the proper fiscal periods and years.

Sage Software will soon be releasing version 1.1 of their Extended Enterprise Suite (Sage MAS 90 + SageCRM + Sage FAS 100) , which incorporates the new Fixed Asset 2008.2 functionality with Sage MAS 90 and 200 version 4.3, and SageCRM version 6.1.

As a result, Sage Software will begin to phase out the stand alone SageCRM integration for the Sage MAS 90 and 200 product. Their current offering of stand alone SageCRM version 6.0 integrated with Sage MAS 90 and 200 version 4.3 will continue to be available for sale to existing users through December 31, 2008. The integration will continue to be supported until the retirement of SageCRM version 6.0 and Sage MAS 90 version 4.3.

It is a significant upgradeand has features that can help our customers focus on business productivityto improve profits, which is especially important in our current economy.

Sage Group is a provider of business management software and services.

Products:

The group’s products include traditional back office applications for accounting, payroll and human resources functions, and front office applications including customer relationship management and payment processing services.

The group provides customized software and service applications to specific industries, which include health care, food distribution, transport, manufacturing, real estate, construction, accountancy practices, not-for-profit organizations, and retail.

Location:

The group primarily operates in the US. It is headquartered in Newcastle Upon Tyne, the UK and employs 13,900 people.

Financials:

The group recorded revenues of £1,157.6 million during the fiscal year ended September 2007, an increase of 23.7% over 2006. The increase in revenue was due to strong organic growth and a significant contribution from 2006 acquisitions. The operating profit of the group was £254 million during fiscal year 2007, an increase of 8.1% over 2006. The net profit was £154 million in fiscal year 2007, an increase of 0.7% over 2006.

Compared to previous years, the launch of Sage 50 2009 was positively downbeat. The details were posted on Sage’s UK website and those who were entitled to immediate upgrades were sent the CDs to install last week.

Perhaps because of the problems encountered two years ago with its new reporting module, Sage opted for a more organic approach. And with the economy looking bleak, the company has tailored the new version to match the market’s mood, with improvements focused on keeping your head down and getting on with collecting the cash.

New cash management features

Several of the program’s new ingredients tie into credit management and cash flow control. On the interface front, you now have the option to view a Dashboard of your credit position to see reports and graphics showing your debt situation and what funds are due in, disputed or owed.

The new Cash flow module, reached via an icon within the Customers Chase Debt, window or from the Bank Accounts and Suppliers Manage Payments modules can also display a summary of outstanding and recurring payments and recurring, effectively giving you an instant cashflow forecast, with the ability to change the date range as you wish. You can also pick specific accounts that you want to include in your forecast view and send the results to a colleague via email, or output the report to Excel for further analysis.

The most obvious addition to Sage 50′s left hand task pane is a new Diary module, which looks very much like a stripped down version of the Microsoft Outlook Calendar. Like Outlook, the Sage 50 Diary lets you create tasks with automatic reminders that can be compiled into a To Do list. The tasks can be linked to specific customer or supplier contact details and in a neat touch, any promised payments will be entered into the Diary and will update the relevant cashflow forecasts when you refresh them.

The Sage 50 Diary is said to integrate with Microsoft Outlook for both tasks and contact details. There is a new Office import/export wizard option, but I was not able to test the facility with the online demo system.

Welcome improvements to error correction and bank reconciliation

Sage has improved two areas that may have been a source of user frustration. The new version makes it easier to fix basic mistakes and includes an improved better bank reconciliation system.

The Correction is reached via the File-Maintenance menu, which includes an Error Checking routine and the option to correct errors. The routine is claimed by Sage to be a single mouse-click operation, but an attempt to remove a pair of scissors from a multi-product sales invoice proved beyond my abilities – so I still had to delete the full invoice and issue a new one minus the unwanted scissors.

When you open the Bank Reconciliation routine an enter a statement date, all the unmatched transactions up to that date are displayed in the upper half of the screen. The previous balance appears in the lower window and as you reconcile each statement entry, it moves to the bottom window. Up and down arrows allow you to move the transactions around to match the bank statement order and you can group several transactions into one item (or ungroup them later).

By changing the period dates, you can also go back and do a retrospective bank rec. The application also has an e-Reconcile option that can download electronic bank statements and carry out automatic reconciliations.

Advanced budget management

When it came to improving Sage 50′s budgeting facilities, the developer appears to have borrowed a trick from AccountingWEB.co.uk member Richard Willis who suggested using a separate chart of accounts to run a shadow budget for your main company. The idea was so good, Sage has built it into the new version. Sage 50 will now let you create a budget chart of accounts, with the ability to edit the structure so you only budget against those accounts that you want to track. You can choose to view budgets by department, or by nominal code activity to track your performance. The budget structure can be automatically replicated for the successive financial year.

Enhancements to existing features

Digging into the depths of the program (and the supporting documentation) uncovered bits and pieces added to previously introduced elements. These inlcude:

• Improvements to the VAT module
• Extensions to Excel Integrated Reporting and a new import/export wizard
• More discount and offer management options within the Invoicing module
• Enhanced batch payment facilities, including an option to link into the Sage Payment Solutions system, so you can take credit card payments immediately over the phone or via the internet and have them posted through to the accounting ledgers. This will cost you extra for the Payment Solutions subscription.
• A new reserve stock feature within the order module that will also automatically record that the stock has been issued
• Batch reports facilities to help you run off regular reporting packages. A couple of new credit control and aged debtor reports have been added to the standard report library
• Multicurrency capabilites includes foreign currency price lists.

Integrated help and practice data system

The Diary and new budgeting features look very useful, and improvements to error correction and bank reconciliation are most welcome. But on first view, it’s hard to get overly excited by what Sage calls “our best accountancy software to date”.

What’s the verdict?

While the new Help features are a welcome addition, Sage 50 can still be difficult to navigate around. The new Cash flow module, for example, is tucked away on an overflow icon menu on the Customers screen.

And with each new release, Sage 50 is taking on more and more of the innovations found within multi-company, mid-range products such as Access Dimensions and IRIS Exchequer. Many of the improvements documented here could have come straight off David Carter’s lab test checklist for mid-range accounting software. As the application becomes more powerful and fully featured, it also becomes more intimidating for smaller company users.

For its share of the desktop accounting market and the features it packs, Sage 50 is a software behemoth and each annual release is a big event. But is anyone else beginning to get the feeling that the real thrills – and opportunities for growth – are taking place elsewhere in the market, with accounting applications that will make life easier, and not more complex, for small businesses and start-ups?
