Microsoft Project Link —
Sage MAS 500 |
| |
In recent years, the software industry has seen the
emergence of a variety of solutions designed to
help
companies better manage projects. Notably, the majority
of these systems can be grouped into
one of two
categories—project accounting or project management. In
the simplest terms, project
management software aims to
deliver projects on schedule. Project accounting solutions
strive to
deliver projects on budget.
Unfortunately, while many companies have successfully
implemented project accounting or project
management
solutions, most have not been able to get the systems to
work together. Instead, project
managers and finance
departments have resorted to communicating through
e-mail, paper reports,
and home-spun spreadsheets. |
 |
|
To solve these inefficiencies, Sage Software proudly offers
the Sage MAS 500 ERP Microsoft Project
Link module, enabling you to integrate Microsoft Project, a leading project management solution, with
Sage MAS 500 ERP.
Through the synthesis of these products, Microsoft Project Link is able to facilitate
seamless information workflow. By passing data between these two systems, project managers are
kept informed of changes or potential overruns, while the finance department simultaneously knows
when to generate invoices. The module’s versatility is underscored by its ability to update a diverse
range of project costs and time with a single data entry. |
