Brief Product Description and Pricing

·         Essentially Sage MAS 200 is exactly the same code as MAS 90 and offers a broad selection of feature-rich solutions, including core accounting, e-commerce, business intelligence tools, HR and payroll, customer relationship management (CRM) and financial reporting software. In addition to robust project management, it has manufacturing and wholesale distribution software solutions that help mid-market businesses automate key processes, including inventory management, bill of materials and job costing.

·         MAS 200 is priced by module, as well as multi-user licenses. As a reseller, installed solution pricing often includes installation and training. Average MSRP pricing for a single user license of the core applications would run approximately $15,000, while five to twenty users would run $20,000 to $150,000 respectively. Prices will vary based on the number of licenses, as well as number of modules purchased. More detail product information and pricing can be received from http://www.sagemas.com/getinfo/.  

Technical Specifications

·         Windows XP and Vista.

·         MAS200 runs on either the ISAM or Microsoft SQL Database. As this is intended to be an upper-end multi-user solution, most often the database of choice will be Microsoft SQL for scalability and growth.

·          Industry standard Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers.

·         Source code is available to third-party master developers only.

·         While early versions of MAS200 were written in Business Basic (BBX,) version 4.0 and later code is C++, C#, and Visual Basic plus a number of tools from other providers.

Integration with Accounting and Ease of Setup

·         MAS200 is considered easy to use for those familiar with accounting practices and has a seamless integration between modules. While an experienced accountant should be able to setup MAS, however, with the ever increasing complexity of the product, where multiple modules and users are involved, it is recommended that an authorized reseller/implementer be used.

Company History and Contact Information

·         MAS 200 has a rich heritage that can be traced back to an early Personal Computer Accounting Software company State of the Art.

With a focus to provide business management software and services to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), their applications cover a full range of business requirements including accounting, customer relationship management, contact management, human resources, warehouse management, specialized industry needs, among many others.
