Why Should I Upgrade To Sage 100 2016?

Are you using an older version of Sage 100 (formerly MAS 90 or MAS 200) and wondering what’s new? Here’s a quick list of what we feel are the most popular enhancements. This list does not include every change introduced to the product (scroll down to our  214-page PDF document outlining Sage 100 New Features 4.0 to 2016 at the bottom of this page).
