Sage Software has just announced that version 4.30 of their Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 accounting software is now shipping.
Chief among the enhancements is the inclusion of Paperless Office functionality which drastically cuts down on the amount of paper registers you need to print each time you update a posting register.
The payroll module has been beefed up with new federal and state electronic filing and reporting. Now you can submit W2’s, 1099’s, unemployment, withholding, new-hire and payment voucher information electronically. (Note: The transmission of this data is enabled in version 4.3 but the actual processing may require a subscription fee).
The Business Insights Explorer has been beefed up and now includes 75 pre-designed views to present data from the GL, AP, IM, PO, SO and AR modules.
