IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - February 23, 2009) - Sage North America announced today the general
availability of Sage MAS 90 and 200 Extended Enterprise Suite version 1.2,
Sage's next-generation business management suite that streamlines critical
processes and workflow for SMBs (Small and Medium-sized Businesses). This
latest release provides expanded Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and
fixed asset management capabilities, helping SMBs more effectively run
business operations. Sage MAS 90 and 200 Extended Enterprise Suite is
available now through authorized Sage MAS business partners.
"Business customers today expect software to present data in an insightful
way that assists in making both critical and day-to-day business
decisions," said Himanshu Palsule, executive vice president and general
manager, Strategic Products, Sage Business Management Division. "Our Sage
MAS Extended Enterprise Suite delivers that critical benefit by putting
insightful business data from across an entire company at the fingertips of
each user."
Sage MAS Extended Enterprise Suite simplifies tasks, reduces redundant
data, and provides information transparency, so users have instant access
to accurate company-wide information and are better equipped to respond to
changing market conditions. The suite delivers these benefits through its
unique combination of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), CRM, fixed asset
management and business intelligence functionality, including the embedded
business intelligence applications Business Insights Explorer and Business
Insights Dashboard. These powerful analysis tools provide employees in
sales, service, finance, operations and management with an integrated,
360-degree view of business operations, so users can optimize resources
from customer-facing systems to back-office processes.
Expanded Customer Relationship Management
Sage MAS 90 and 200 Extended Enterprise Suite v1.2 includes a number of CRM
enhancements to help sales and marketing efforts. Users now can create and
graphically view multiple sales relationships between primary entities,
such as a holding company and its subsidiaries, or "many-to-many"
relationships where multiple sales representatives sell into various
divisions of the same company. For marketing, professional mass email
campaigns can be enhanced with advanced editing and also benefit from a
new, multi-language spell checker. A branding toolkit also is included,
which enables users to modify the look and feel of CRM screens, including
adding logos to match a company's corporate identity.
Enhanced Fixed Assets Management
Sage MAS 90 and 200 Extended Enterprise Suite v1.2 also provides updates to
the latest tax rules, rates and IRS forms so that users can easily comply
with the important, new tax law changes that impact the current and
upcoming tax years. By organizing fixed assets in an easy-to-view format
and performing complex depreciation calculations quickly and easily, Sage
MAS Extended Enterprise Suite saves time, improves data accuracy and
maximizes tax savings.
