Sage ERP X3 Conference May 26, 2011 – Register Now

May 11, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

Sage have just posted an event scheduled for May 26, 2011 at 9am EST. This event will likely provide an update to the (re)launch of Sage’s ERP X3 V6 which happened last year and we summarized on our ERPLIFE site.

Scheduled to present:

Guy Berruyer – Sage CEO

Christope Letellier, Sage ERP X3 Worldwide General Manager

Laurie Schultz, Senior VP and General Manager Mid-Market ERP Solutions, Sage North America

Emmanuel Obadia, Senior VP Sage ERP X3

The conference will begin at 6am PDT, 9am EDT and will be followed by media and analyst Q&A.

Last year we attended the Sage ERP X3 re-launch of their version 6. The open Q&A was excellent with the company answering many questions specific to the product (in contrast to most other ERP vendors who primarily hand pick questions that deal with mundane financial aspects of product launches).

Sage MAS Intelligence Quick Guides (PDF)

March 4, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

Sage yesterday provided our 90 Minds Consulting Group with three documents that explain a little more about the features, functionality and cost of their Sage MAS Intelligence reporting tool.

As you probably recall Sage was forced to retire the distribution of FRX Financial Reporting as of January 31, 2011. This occurred because Microsoft (the owner/publisher of FRX) discontinued distribution effectively bringing product sales of FRX to an end of life with support terminating at the end of 2012.

Though Sage have promised FRX compatibility through Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 v4.5 – they’re already rolling out Sage MAS Intelligence as their featured replacement for FRX. Since existing users of Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 receive a free license of Sage MAS Intelligence (customers on plan receive a free Report Manager license and a Security Manager for Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 v4.4 — or EES 1.4).

There have been a number of questions (cost, functionality) that users and consultants have asked which I think are answered quite nicely in the PDF files below.

VTEchnologies Terminates Sage – Sage Terminates Starship Link

February 14, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

You may have previously heard that Sage and V-Technologies would no longer have an OEM relationship where Sage resold the popular V-Technologies Starship software.

In an email blast sent out today, Caroline Walsh, the Direct or Sales and Marketing for V-Technologies shares that Sage will stop offering a Starship Link starting with version 4.5 of Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200.

Instead it seems that V-Technologies will develop a link using Sage’s pseudo programming scripting language – Business Objects Interfact (BOI).

They also mention that they’re actively seeking out a developer to create a link between Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 and their Starship product.

What Does This All Mean?

Should you abandon ship and switch to another shipping package?

I don’t think solely based on this change in the relationship. V-Technologies has been doing a fine job for the last several years handling virtually all of their upgrades outside of Sage.

If you’re looking for a new shipping solution and you use multiple carriers – Starship is still the more mature choice for most users.

The Contact Us Page Your Web Site Must Have

February 14, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

This morning while browsing the web I happened upon what I consider to be the perfect design for a “contact us page” on the web site of JMT Consulting, a Sage Fund Accounting and Intacct Partner.

Admittedly the design is simple. All that’s displayed is a list of company personnel, a link to send them email and their phone numbers.

Does your site have this? How often do you browses a web site praying to come accross a contact’s email only to be presented with a very generic “contact us” button.

This is a contact page done right. It provides information for both clients and prospects to contact real people at real phone numbers or email addresses. You should visit (use the link below) and email whoever is maintaining your site and ask that they add the same type of page.
