HERNDON, VA--(Marketwire - November 24, 2008) - Sage North America announced today the launch
of the Sage FAS online community, a new resource for users and business
partners of Sage FAS to exchange ideas and solutions and to access expert
product advice. The Sage FAS online community is the latest in the growing
number of online forums hosted by Sage for users of its business management
software and services. The online communities improve the overall
experience of customers by providing easier and more interactive
communications with each other and with Sage experts. The Sage FAS online
community may be accessed at
http://community.sagefas.com.
"The new Sage FAS online community provides a vehicle for open dialog
between customers, business partners and our product experts, which goes a
long way toward satisfying customers and their specific business needs,"
said Chris Donie, senior vice president and general manager of Sage FAS.
"This is a very important step toward moving closer to our customers and
ultimately providing them with improved products and services."
The Sage FAS online community makes it fast and easy for users to find
needed information or interact with others. The site includes four main
content areas -- Connect, Solve, Learn and Participate -- to help visitors
connect with peers, solve issues, learn more about depreciation, tax laws
and product capabilities, and participate in the development of future Sage
products.
Connect - This discussion forum helps users interact with peers to share
information, ask questions and get answers. Users can see who is online and
what topics are being discussed, create their own discussions and easily
connect to other Sage online communities.
Solve - Containing content for those with immediate issues, the Solve
section features the Sage FAS Knowlegebase plus answers to the "10 most
common problems" when managing fixed assets. The Sage FAS Knowlegebase
includes tips, tricks and solutions to many common, and not-so-common
questions about fixed assets and Sage FAS products. The expert know-how of
Sage support specialists and product designers continually updates the
Knowlegebase with the latest information.
Learn - The Learn section contains a wealth of Sage FAS product information
plus valuable topical content. Included is the Sage FAS Library where users
can download installation and user guides, the Sage FAS Depreciation Guide,
a variety of informative whitepapers, and the latest tax information from
both United States and Canadian tax authorities.
Participate - This area enables users to impact the future of Sage FAS
products. Here, community members can participate in product design by
commenting on prototypes, participating in polls, answering usability
questions, and providing general feedback and input. The section invites
product enhancement requests, as well as featured "Poll of the Month"
questions, which can range from business to more personal topics.
