MAS90 & MAS200 Promotions for Spring 2009 Full Detail

April 2, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

Hot off the presses are the following pricing promotions in effect through 6/30/2009. These MAS 90 and MAS 200 specials apply only against product (no discounts are taken off maintenance) and may generally not be combined with other offers.

When looking at any accounting software don’t be fooled into thinking that initial purchase price should be your main consideration. You should be thinking about whether the software will meet your need, if the consultant has adequately assessed your need, and if all the add-ons they’re recommending have been thoroughly researched.

We see an increasing number of companies buying software because of some fancy quarter end sale/promotion or price cut.

That’s fine if you know exactly what your doing. But many times neither the customer or the consultant know (and shouldn’t at least the consultant have an idea?)…
Do your research and talk to users of the software you are considering purchasing. If you’re unable to find people to speak with — that’s your cue to reconsider what you are buying.

Netsuite vs Sage: Big discounts are the “greatest hits” albums of the ERP industry

March 5, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

netsuite11.jpg
There’s a price war brewing within the Netsuite online accounting market

For a reduced fee the online accounting vendor Netsuite is hoping to lure Sage users to their system (Observation: My hunch is if you said that you were a user of Great Plains, SAP, QuickBooks Enterprise or pencil and paper that you’d get the same deal).

This price chopping reflects perhaps on the lack of innovation confidence in the product.

Just as rock bands release “greatest hits” albums when they’ve got nothing new to offer – software companies roll out “50% off” bargains when they have nothing more attractive (new features) to offer.

Here’s some observations for those deciding whether to bite on a discount offer

They are a lot easier to get into – than out of
With one particular price chopping offer, there is a bundle of 100 hours to convert data. If it take 100 hours to get your data into a new system – just think of how much fun it will be to get it out should you decide to leave.

All support is not created equally
Have you ever gotten frustrated dealing with an overseas call center? If you’ve never had to deal with language (dialect/accent) issues – then get ready because in exchange for a relatively tiny up-front discount consider that you may have just signed up for a long distance support relationship.

The happiest day in an accounting software sale is when you sign the agreement to purchase – it’s all downhill from there


If you don’t believe me on this one – just think about the accounting software you’re using now and why you are reviewing discounted software offers online. If you’re like most people your biggest mistake wasn’t the software — rather it was the PEOPLE who SOLD it to you. Select the wrong people to deal with and you’re doomed to failure.

The wrong people? These are easy to recognize because they’re quick to quote you a price on a new product sale. Yet they take forever to solve a problem.

A low initial purchase price is a sucker bet that only fools fall for
I see this all the time. Companies buy software based on some great discount that’s offered TODAY — not taking into account that the product may not work as well as the salesperson demoed it, the recurring annual maintenance (over which they have zero control) may not be as cheap in year two as in discounted year one.

Guess what happens when you stop paying maintenance on a hosted solution? The lights go out – just like when you stop paying your electric bill.
I’ve saved what I think is the most compelling argument against a drastic move to a discounted online offer for last.

Guess what happens if you decide you don’t want to pay any more software maintenance to a vendor who is hosting all of your data online?

Does your login to the hosted site continue to work?

Think about it – when you have a solution securely loaded on your network – you can generally continue to legally use that software even if you decide to stop paying maintenance (I’m not recommending this mind you – just pointing out a loophole that many users freely exploit).

Switch to Netsuite and try it for a year or two. Then stop paying maintenance. There won’t be any free 100 hour assistance to get your data out — and let me know if that login to YOUR DATA still continues to work.

Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 Winter 2009 Promotions

January 19, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

MAS90 Accounting SoftwareThe latest pricing promotions for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 have been released by Sage Software. In order to qualify for any of these promotions your order must be placed prior to March 31, 2009.

Promotions are always applied to the product portion of any software costs and not against the recurring software maintenance.

In order to participate in these promotions (and to purchase any new modules or product licenses), a current Sage Basic Software Maintenance Plan is required.

Noteworthy MAS90 & MAS200 Promotions

I’ve included a complete listing of all promotions as distributed by Sage Software earlier this month.

Some of the more noteworthy promotions are:

  • Reinstatement for lapsed maintenance at 40% off provided you enroll on EasyPay (this is where Sage bills your credit card monthly for the maintenance costs)
  • Migrate to Extended Enterprise Suite and save 40% off the cost of coming current
  • Receive a free copy of Sage Credit Card module for enrolling with Sage Payment Solutions
  • Participate in the Sage Credit Card Promo and also be eligible to buy Business Alerts for $895 (plus maintenance) and the ACH Electronic Payments (AP-1063) and AP Paperless Stubs (AP-1095) for ony $1,500 (plus maintenance).

Recommendations

New purchasers of Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 should look no farther than the Extended Enterprise Suite. This bundle includes:

  • Library Master
  • Business Insights
  • Paperless Office
  • General Ledger
  • Accounts Receivable
  • Accounts Payable
  • Customer Relationship Management (aka SageCRM 6.2)
  • Inventory Management
  • Sales Order
  • Purchase Order
  • Return Merchandise Authorization
  • Bill of Materials
  • Bank Reconciliation
  • Visual Integrator
  • Custom Office
  • FRX & Crystal Reports
  • Fixed Assets (FAS)
  • Federal & State eFiling
  • Credit Card Processing by Sage Payment Solutions

We are  seeing extremely aggressive upgrade pricing for existing users of Sage MAS 90 and 200 that starts at about $500 per user (minimum 5 users) to upgrade from standard MAS 90 to EES (Extended Enterprise Suite). In most instances you should strongly consider EES even if all you need is an extra module or two.

Sage Software is currently running a promotion with EES that gives you 2 extra users for every 5 you purchase.

Below is the official promotional sheet distributed this quarter that goes into greater detail about the savings that are being offered.
