Sage Extended Enterprise For Sage MAS 90 and 200 Pricing Announced

May 14, 2008 by Wayne Schulz

The Extended Enterprise Solution for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 (formerly known as Project Diamond) was detailed for the first time this morning in an 8 am session at the Sage Software Insights 2008 conference in Washington DC.

This new package bundles many of the core MAS 90 and MAS 200 modules (listed below). What’s really news is that it also includes integration to SageCRM and Sage FAS (Fixed Assets). The package is offered at a fixed per user cost which is a break from Sage Software’s prior pricing strategy based on a per module cost.

The deadline for partners to be certified for this product is June 2009. Sage Software is offering free certification for partners who enroll prior to June 30, 2008 (you do not have to take the class — only enroll for it).

Phase one of this rollout is aimed for new customers. Sage indicates there will be some migration opportunities in the September 2008 timeframe. Pricing details for existing customers will NOT be available until September.

Sage Software Keynotes Are Done

May 13, 2008 by Wayne Schulz

The Sage Software keynotes are wrapping up. The main message is that Sage Software continues to deliver and improve on their existing product line. This morning the Sage Extended Enterprise Suite for Sage MAS 90 and 200 and Sage ACCPAC was announced.

This new suite of products on the Sage MAS 90 site includes Sage MAS 90 , SageCRM and SageFAS. The different applications all integrate through a “one DVD” installation process and promise tighter and better integration with products than ever before.

In essence the message delivered was that Sage continues to listen and improve their products. There will be some fine tuning of partner programs to make them simpler.

New Sage Software USA CEO Sue Swenson made an impressively polished presentation on Monday. She introduced herself and though she has only been on the job 6 weeks has been traveling to all the remote Sage locations. It’s far too early to tell what impact Sue’s hiring will have on Sage but her background and stage presence impressed all the Business Partners I spoke with.

In essence the keynotes re-affirmed Sage’s commitment to improve. Not a lot of new product news.
