Sage ERP X3 comes to America

October 1, 2008 by Wayne Schulz


Sage ERP X3 is an international ERP solution for mid-market to large enterprises. Originally known as Adonix X3 and rebranded Sage ERP X3 last year, this product is sold throughout North America by a small group of channel partners and a direct sales force.

Adonix was acquired by Sage Group in 2005. Until today, the North American operations were managed as part of Sage Europe, because the original Adonix was headquartered in France. The North American management team is based in Pittsburgh, PA.

Moving forward, this team will become part of the overall BMD portfolio. Sales and marketing will be integrated with existing teams. Other employees will continue to report into Alex Attal, the North American leader for Sage ERP X3.

Sage ERP X3 ideally complements the existing Sage ERP portfolio in North America. Scaling up to more than 1,000 concurrent users, it provides mid-market up to large enterprise manufacturers and distributors with mid- to high-end ERP software aimed at meeting the most elaborate business processes. It will allow Sage to address many customers whose needs can not currently be met by Sage MAS 500 or Sage Accpac ERP, as well as those upper-end customers requiring multinational support.

MAS90’s Hidden Weapon: Extended Solutions

September 29, 2008 by Wayne Schulz

Many users of accounting software secretly (and often not so secretly) wish that their programs could be customized so that they more tightly fit the needs of their business. Unfortunately custom programming often proves to be both expensive and time consuming.

Not anymore.

With Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 there is a large catalog of customizations that have already been written and can be purchased for a fixed fee.

Examples of Extended Solutions include Multi-Company processing for General Ledger and Accounts Payable. With this enhancement you can have one master company processing accounts payable invoices and checks for dozens of subsidiaries. The entire due-to and due-from process is managed by the enhancement (See AP-1027 – Multiple Company Accounts Payable which provides just this functionality for only $1,795 + $265 Maintenance).

What’s so powerful about these Extended Solutions is that not only do they save you the initial development time (and money) – but as the Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 programs are upgraded you receive the enhancements at your current level for no extra charge.

Selecting and searching for an Extended Solution for Sage MAS90 and MAS200 is easy. Simply log into the Extended Solution Site and search for your desired functionality. Once located, you’ll see a screen with the cost, description and a link to the full product manual.

Tip: Not everyone knows this, but all of the Extended Solutions may be requested as a free trial. They will ship you the solution so that it only operates on the dummy data company code and with certain other restrictions. This gives you a chance to “try before you buy” – something not available with most other custom programming.

If you have more questions about whether an Extended Solution might be right for your business, ask yourself these questions:

  • Will I save time by having the feature (and if so how much)
  • Are there alternate procedures that I could perform that would eliminate the need for this enhancement
  • How many enhancements am I looking to purchase (Rule of thumb: Under 6 is probably ideal with most companies using only one or two).
  • Am I willing to wait an extra month or two after the main MAS 90 or MAS 200 program has been updated for my ehancements to be ready (This is the typical wait time).
  • Will I be using third party vertical solutions like Job Ops or ACS Service Managemenet which may conflict with Extended Solutions?

In general we strongly recommend the use of Extended Solutions to our clients. When a pre-written customization is required it is our favored solution based on the sheer numbers of enhancements available as well as the positive feedback we receive from our clients.

MAS90 Positive Pay Enhancement Keeps Bank Happy – Check Scammers At Bay – Cash in Your Account

August 26, 2008 by Wayne Schulz

With color laser and inkjet printers so cheap – it’s amazing that we don’t see more check fraud.

Hopefully your company never has to wrestle with check fraud. The way the scam works is simple — one of the company employees (could also be a vendor who received a check and is therefore privy to account information) prints their own checks on a color laser/inkjet printer (using the company routing numbers, etc). Very easy to do as the software for this capability is widely available – and fully legal. Very convincing because you cannot tell a fake check from a real one. You usually see this type of fraud at companies with lots of employees and higher turnover (think employment agencies, construction companies, landscapers).
