SageCRM Training Guides For Accpac, MAS90/200, ProcessPro/SagePro

by

The question of whether SageCRM training manuals were available for users and consultants just came up in my 90 Minds consulting group. Fortunately the answer to that question is yes as my friend Peter Wolf of Azamba Consulting just pointed out:

I do sell the classes in conduction with other Sage Partners. Pricing is available on my web site and I have a bundle of a two hour training session that is included with most course guides. This session allows for about 30-45 minutes of questions and answers. One of my Azamba SageCRM senior consultants conducts the training.

Here’s a sample of the guides:

MAS90 Support Collaboration: 90 Minds Consulting Group

by

One of the most important organizations that Schulz Consulting has participated in over the last several years is the 90 Minds Consulting Group.

The 90Minds Consulting Group is a non-profit association of consultants who all met while attending Sage conferences (who say’s there’s no value in attending conferences!) and we individually specialize in the Sage Software family of accounting, CRM and ERP products.

90 Minds was formed in December 2005 when a group of consultants began exchanging email questions. Gradually the group matured and expanded to provide shared technical assistance, backup support, and serve as a sounding board for our members. We share well in excess of 500 messages monthly jointly supporting each others’ practices and providing second opinions on complex technical matters.

While the group is geographically diverse – members share experiences on a daily basis to answer technical questions for group members as well as provide as a first line of questions for industry specific solutions that some of our members have experience with.

Behind the scenes our members collectively share over 500 1,000 messages each month with technical tips and other information that serves to help the client’s of our members as they request support for the various accounting systems.

Find add-ons for Sage MAS 90 and 200 [How To]

by

Have you ever found yourself in a position where you wish Sage MAS 90 or 200 could be “tweaked” just a little bit more to fit the specific needs of your industry?

Finding a qualified developer can be a challenge. You can hire someone who claims to “know” your software and can custom write an enhancement for your company.

The problem with hiring a lone developer is you have no way to know what type of experience they possess. Luckily Sage has solved this problem by creating certification levels.

Sage Certification for Developers

Sage has a stable of development partners who have been certified as either Endorsed, Gold or Silver.

Endorsed Partner: Sage invitation only. These partners are required to meet rigorous strategic, technologic, and integration criteria. Their solutions are handpicked by Sage and marketed aggressively alongside their core solutions.

Gold: The Gold level is a select tier for established development partners who have a closer relationship with Sage. These partners agree to adhere to Sage Best Practices and have one of their solutions certified through an independent testing company.

Sliver: Entry level tier for developers who are new to a particular Sage suite of products.

Solutions are either Endorsed or Certified

Sage has a certification process for differentiating the solutions available for their product line. This certification process includes basic qualify and integration tests  with the Sage product line. The different certifications are either Endorsed or Certified.

Endorsed: A Sage Endorsed solution means Sage has put the product through additional paces and QA testing. These solutions carrying the Endorsed label have been classified as strategic to the product they integrate with. These solutions may also sometimes be an integrated component of a Sage solution.

Certified: A solution marked as Certified tells you that it is reliable and developed to the highest standards. Vendors  must submit their application to Sage for testing prior to achieving this status.

Sage Partner Solutions

The Sage Partner Solution Source is a web site that lists third party enhancements for a wide variety of Sage products. There are over 12 separate Sage product lines represented on the site:

  • Act! by Sage
  • Peachtree by Sage
  • Sage Accpac ERP

  • Sage BusinessWorks Accounting
  • Sage MAS 500 ERP
