Hot off the presses are these slides that were used at the recent Friday Focus session. The topic was MAS 90 version 4.4 and the content covered all the expected new enhancements in this next release as well as approximate release dates.

For those of you not patient enough to read through all 21 pages:

• Controlled release / beta – begins summer 2009
• Final release target – late 2009
• Modules upgrade: Inventory, Purchase Order, Bill of Materials, Bar Coding
• Major new features: 20 character customer number, 30 character inventory item (special item too) numbers

Here’s the full slide deck that contains quite a few screen shots. Ignore the pithy comment or two in the margins typed by one of my reseller buddies. If you’re up to the challenge of being a beta tester – send email to marissa.sarreal and be sure to add in the @sage.com to the end.
