MAS90 Classroom Training Schedule Online

April 1, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

classroomOne of the most frequent questions we receive is regarding training for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200. Often our clients hire new employees or would like a quick refresher course on the basics of MAS 90 and MAS 200.

As a general rule of thumb our recommendations on education are as follows:

If you are a brand NEW user to MAS 90 or MAS 200 with no experience – consider a class.

If you are tackling a new module that you have not used before (manufacturing, Visual Integrator) – consider training (we recommend attempting some self study first).

If you are an experienced user and you simply have a few questions – we think it’s best for you to compile a list of what you are having issues with and discuss those with your Sage Business Partner. This is because training classes are typically very broad and cover the topic in depth from start to finish – when you may already be familiar with a large portion of what is covered in class.

MAS 90 and MAS 200 Training Schedule

Here’s a training schedule for Kissinger Associates in Pennsylvania. They’ve been working with Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 since I’ve been using the program and are also long time operators of a high quality authorized Sage training facility.

Most classes are full day – unless noted otherwise.

A benefit of attending these Sage Authorized classes is you receive:

  • Structured classroom training
  • Sage authorized class
  • Sage authorized trainer
  • Sage materials (very high quality)

After you’ve reviewed the MAS 90 and MAS 200 training schedules below you can review the course content on this page which shows the costs, content outline as well as CPE credits offered.

The official Kissinger Associates MAS90 Training site can be accessed online for further information.

Paperless Office Reports for MAS 90 and MAS 200 Payroll Not Saving

March 16, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

If you’re using Paperless Office with  Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 Payroll module, you may want to take a read at what Sage MAS 90 Consultant Beth Bowers and Mike Fitzgerald have already uncovered.

Looks as if not all of the daily processing reports in Payroll are being saved when you are using Paperless Office.

While the payroll Register saves, there have been reports that the Payroll Data Entry Audit Report and Pre-Check Register are being over-written each time a new payroll is generated.

This issue has been reported to Sage and they are working on a fix. In the interim if you are using Paperless Office with Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 payroll you should make sure you have paper copies of all registers.

FRX Report Writer for MAS 90 Still Alive

February 15, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

FRX Financial Reporting for MAS 90 appears to have gained a new lease on life. According to Mark Chinsky of Client’s First Business Solutions – New Jersey, the FRX Report Writer is back under development (or at least is being promoted as a solution by Microsoft) after being slated for discontinuation in favor of PerformancePoint Server.

Mark spotted an article in Network Computing that states in part:

Microsoft made a surprise announcement that presents good news and bad news for customers and partners who were developing on the PerformancePoint Server product. The good news is that the dashboarding, scorecarding and analytic capabilities of PerformancePoint are now being made available as free services to customers with an enterprise license of SharePoint Server. The bad news is that PerformancePoint and its planning functionality will no longer be offered as a separate product, though there will be a final “Service Pack3” upgrade to the planning functionality released this summer. Translation? Microsoft’s BI team is backing away from deep financial and operational performance management, ceding those opportunities to the Microsoft Dynamics unit and stranding some customers and partners in the process.

Microsoft says it is bundling high-demand PerformancePoint functionality like dashboarding, scorecarding and advanced analytics with SharePoint to better fulfill its longstanding goal of spreading business intelligence to the broadest possible base of users.

“By putting this functionality into SharePoint, it makes it available to exponentially more users,” said Kristina Kerr, Lead Product Manager, Microsoft Business Intelligence, in an interview with Intelligent Enterprise. Share “As for the financial budgeting and planning piece, we found that it involves very different buying behaviors, different people and different deployment scenarios, so we’re very deliberately splitting those two areas.”

A final upgrade of PerformancePoint may buy planning-focused customers and partners some time, but nobody wants to make long-range plans around a product without a road map. Thus, one of two paths forward Microsoft points to exploits what Kerr describes as “broad planning capabilities” it can offer with the combination of SQL Server, SharePoint Server and Excel.

“For example, we have an Excel add-in that exposes the analytic capabilities of SQL Server Analysis Services,” Kerr explained. “Analysis Services offers a function called Forecast, which is really predictive analytics based on historical trends. [That’s the kind of functionality] that’s suitable for scenarios that aren’t specific to the office of finance but that call for broad planning and forecasting capabilities.”

A second path forward for partners and customers interesting in planning is to work with the Microsoft Dynamics ERP and applications unit, which will continue to develop its Forecaster and FRX products for forecasting, budgeting and financial reporting.

Phone Support Agreement for MAS 90 and MAS 200

January 12, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

We provide all technical support for Sage MAS 90 and 200 under an unlimited telephone support agreement. This removes the need for our clients to worry that their staff will be charged for technical support questions. Since our plan covers as many technical questions as the staff may have – there’s seldom a need (unless additional services have been requested) for an extra suport charge.

It’s important to realize that this fee is for support and not the basic maintenance which is charged annually by Sage Software for their product upgrades.

Accpac Software consultants offer up YouTube video to explain benefits of their product

January 9, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

Accpac consultants Terrell & Terrell have created a rather amusing parody video that demonstrates why someone should want to use their Accpac time collection software.

The 7 minute video is a skit that someone in the firm produced which was shown at their annual customer conference. While the point of the skit is to drive home the need for additional software – I like it as a selling tool much better than  receiving a boring sales call asking me if I’m interested in software.

While I’m not sure who the starring actors were in this video, I’m assuming it was staff from the firm. How interesting that a prospective user for Accpac might receive this YouTube (instead of boring boilerplate emails) and then during the initial meeting find themselves face to face with the actors who starred in the skit!

Terrell & Terrell is a Dallas Texas based CPA firm specializing in the Accpac product line. Their products include accounting , CRM, project management, point of sale, EDDI, and Human Resource Management.
