Bored at work? Here’s an interesting way to send an eCard starring you as Santa. First upload a picture of yourself. Then after a little fine tuning of the image you’ll select a setting. I’ve chosen a tropical climate.
Sage reports annual earnings
Sage have just reported their annual results for the year ended September 2008. You can review the complete details on their investor page.
The parent company reported sales rose 7% overall for the year with an underlying 3% rise in net profie.
The chart at left displays Sage’s depiction of revenue growth. The Sage North America revenues (organic – meaning there are no recent acquistion revenue/loss results added or subtracted) contracted 3% when the Healthcare Division was added to the mix.
There’s more in a handy PDF summary file which I’ve included at the end of this article.
My notes from the PDF:
1% organic growth for Sage North America EXCLUDING Healthcare (which apparently means revenues contracted 4%) when Healthcare revenues are included there is a contraction of 3% (negative growth).
Business Management Division FLAT
– Peachtree FLAT
– Both MAS and Peachtree affected by market conditions
Industry & Specialized – up 3%
– Construction driven by support plan growth
– Non Profit continues to show good growth
Maintenance & Support is 52% of revenues
Launching integrated Software/Support model for Peachtree (I take this to mean support will bundle as is down with QBES)
Sage North America’s revenues breakout as follows:
Business Management – 47%
Industry Specific Solutions – 16%
Sage Healthcare – 28%
Sage Payment – 9%

Crystal Reports scheduler for Sage MAS 90 and 200
Perryman Software introduces availability of their Crystal Reports scheduler for Sage MAS 90 and 200. This solution
The Ps Report Scheduler allows you to define and schedule stored procedures and reports, executables, and batch process tasks to be run monthly, weekly, daily, or on-demand. One Crystal Report can be used multiple times with different parameters because unique, preset parameters can be passed for each instance of a scheduled report. Parameters are entered during scheduling, and SQL statements can be defined as needed. Once scheduled, the item automatically runs at the designated
time and can be output to an electronic file, printer, or automatically emailed to multiple addresses simultaneously. You only need one version of the report regardless of the output variations required, allowing you to build a comprehensive Crystal Reports library in a single location and edit one, not multiple, versions. Included with the Ps Report Scheduler is the Ps Library, which controls user access
and network connections based on group and individual privileges. Authorized users can define and schedule reports and executables or run them on demand without a local copy of the application or Crystal Reports on their client system.
While the initial product information does not specify how this solution is run, it appears that you need to dedicate a workstation to run the scheduler (as opposed to running this as a service as some Crystal Report schedulers do).
The price of $ 1,200 is steep for casual users but will be attractive to those 10+ user sites with lots of Crystal Reports that they’ve been generating manually during off peak hours.
PS Report Scheduler: $995 + $199 support
90 Minds Consulting Group launches web site
90 Minds is a group of consultants representing accounting software packages such as those from Sage, Intuit, Microsoft, SAP, Deltek and more.
This independent association of consultants, of which Schulz Consulting is one of the founding members, numbers over 25 separate companies with 100+ total consultants.
Because this group is not affiliated with any one particular software vendors, it possesses what may be the most unique capabilities of any company nationwide.
Instead of attempting to merge in members from as far away as Hawaii, the 90 Minds Consulting Group decided two years ago to informally structure around a private email list.
As this list popularity grew, the members wanted to have an outlet to advertise their services and membership in the group.
Thus the 90 Minds web site is born.
In the coming months this site will be significantly enhanced to include:
- Member locator
- Skills / product locator
- Contact a member
- Location searches
The site is strucured so that content relevant to all users of ERP Accounting Software will have a place to read bulletins and tips published by some of the most experienced consultants in the United States.
