MAS90 Chat Room Launched

March 29, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

Whether your company is 100 people in size or just one – it can be invaluable to access to a second opinion from those with MAS90 experience.

Starting today we’re dedicating one of our 37 Signals Campfire chat rooms to open MAS 90 and MAS 200 technical talk.

This is NOT a free support avenue. It’s a way for end users and consultants to get and share second opinions or request additional help on tough support problems.

There’s no registration required (though I would encourage you to send me an email – wayne@s-consult.com and I’ll create a free account for you which will allow you to view prior chat history) — and the group is fully open and public so what you type is seen by anyone else that’s inside the group.

We’ll run this for three or four months and see whether it can be expanded upon or improved. Don’t expect the room to be monitored 24×7 – rather it should be considered a gathering place for MAS 90 support pros to hang out.

When you log into the room – don’t expect an off-topic rowdy party.

The premise of MAS90 chat is that you leave this room open and on your computer and other users join and leave during the day.

During the majority of the time there may be no activity at all — so stay logged in until others join throughout the day.

If someone has a question they can ask in the room.

If someone can answer a question – and they happen to be logged into chat – they can answer (click below for an example).

If you access the chat room via this link – you won’t have to register or supply a password — however the chat will only display what is occurring while you are logged in. If you would like to view chat history – please email me (wayne@s-consult.com) and I’ll create an account for you.

Remember this is a two or three month experiment. It’s not affiliated, recommended, endorsed or liked by Sage. Use all information and recommendations at your own risk and I strongly advise you consult with your Sage Business Partner prior to implementing any ideas shared in chat.

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

April 2, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

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

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.

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

April 2, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

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.
