Consulting and Upgrades
Martin and Associates – Customer Sales – Vendor Purchases History Recalc
If you’ve gone through the upgrade process for Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 and looked into your Customer Sales and/or Vendor Purchase history tab you will probably notice that the upgrade did NOT recalculate the historical totals on a month by month basis.
At the recently concluded Sage Software Insights 2008 conference in Washington DC, several announcements were made about what was expected for version 4.4 of MAS90 and MAS200.
These features are tentative (meaning until they ship don’t write them in stone). I’ll list the items that were discussed in the session to give you and idea of what may be planned for the 2009 release of Sage MAS 90 and 200.

Brian Buck, CPA – CS Solutions Mount Clemens, MI
Congratulations to Brian Buck, CPA of CS Solutions for claiming all of the conference SWAG (aka free stuff) that I’d collected during my stay at the 2008 Sage Software Insights Conference in Washington DC.
Throughout the Sage Software Insights Conference I ran a constantly updated message stream that provided session by session (sometimes minute by minute) updates of what was happening. The tool that I used was Twitter, which allows for short (140 character) messages which users can read for free via the web – or subscribe and have the messages pushed out as SMS text to their phone.

UPDATE: 02-16-2009 – Please see this article announcing a change in policy by Microsoft which seems to say that FRX will continue to be supported.
Sage Software has been advised that Microsoft has made a decision against further enhancement or development of their FRx reporting software beyond version 6.7. Microsoft agreed to continue supporting the current version of FRx through June 2011, thereby enabling Sage Software adequate opportunity to evaluate suitable alternatives. As a part of the evaluation process, Sage Software will also assess Microsoft’s Management Reporter; Management Reporter has been described as the next generation FRx and is equipped with full migration capability.

Once the decision has been made to invest in a new accounting system, the real fun starts. You can either take the “show up and throw up” approach – and invite as many consultants as possible into your office for free demonstrations. Or you can use a more structured approach that will stack the odds of success squarely in your favor.
