Schulz Consulting offers free service update assistance to their support clients through 4/30/09

A Message To Our Unlimited MAS 90 and MAS 200 Phone Support Clients:

4/2/09

As you know our support plans don’t include the labor (whether on-site or remote) to install upgrades, service updates, workstation setups or tax table updates.

However ..

In light of the number of payroll changes that have come out recently (new tax tables and 941 form updates) for 2009 — I want to be sure that our loyal Schulz Consulting support subscribers have their payroll updated to the latest rates and software changes.

I’ve decided that during the next few weeks (actually until the end of April) — Schulz Consulting will install the tables remotely at no cost for anyone on our phone support plans..

New MAS90 Payroll Changes We Will Update Remotely For Our Support Clients

1. New 941 forms for 2009 that were just release which slightly modify the 941 form with additional fields

2. New payroll tax tables that were release 3/27/09 – and while these tables seems to primarily impact non-resident aliens it seems like a good idea to update them in light of the rapid law changes.

If you want to set a time to do this (remotely) – simply email Wayne Schulz and we will call you to arrange for a time.

If you would rather – you can use the link below to call Wayne directly.

P.S – This is not a new policy (in other words we still charge for consulting work that is outside the scope of our normal support plan), however from time to time we like to include an extra benefit to show our appreciation for the loyalty of our clients. This is one of those times. Thanks for being a Schulz Consulting support customer!

MAS90 & MAS200 Promotions for Spring 2009 Full Detail

by

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.

MAS 90 Tax Tables Updates for Q2 2009 Changes (3/27/09)

by

I’ve just noticed that the tax tables for MAS 90 and MAS 200 have been updated and given a new date of 3/27/09. These tax table downloads are cumulative — so if you’re unsure whether you have applied the tables previously then you can download this latest update and receive all prior changes.

By all appearances the only changes were to non-resident alien tax tables. The most recent prior update was dated 2/27/09 and that update contained the latest federal withholding tables as mandated by the IRS.

MAS90 and MAS200 supported versions list

by

Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 version 3.71 and higher are presently supported by Sage. This means that in most instances you can obtain the current release levels, service updates (if any) as well as tax table updates.

There are some restrictions on what older versions of MAS 90 and MAS 200 are entitled to.

For example, versions 4.20 and earlier no longer receive service updates. Instead if you find an error you’ll have to beg and plead ask for an individual program fix. Also, version 4.05 and lower no longer have the knowledgebase kept up to date – so if you’re looking for a problem report on a version 4.0 issue you’ll probably not have much luck.

Curious what the restrictions are on the supported levels of Sage MAS 90, MAS 200 (and MAS 500 is even thrown in for good luck)?

Here’s the PDF showing all versions starting with 4.30 and their appropriate level of support.
