From Sage: Important Sage MAS 90 and 200 Extended Solution News |
| |
Dear Valued Customer,
Over time, Sage has invested in adding to the core Sage MAS 90 and 200 systems capabilities, grown the scope of features and functionality, and enhanced the ability to personalize your system so it works the way you do. Because of these enhancements, Sage has decided to simplify its product offerings by incorporating or retiring our Extended Solutions titles. We will ensure that any retired Extended Solutions will be available to our valued Sage Development Partner Community for future needs. This will allow us to focus on continuing to build value in the core product by incorporating the main features and functionality of some of our most popular Extended Solutions. You will gain additional features and functionality in the modules you own, with no additional maintenance and support costs.
What does this mean to you? |
|
| |
 |
In future releases and product updates, you'll get more value in the core product as we incorporate features and functionality from a select group of Extended Solution titles, such as ACH Electronic Payment for Accounts Payable. |
|
The Extended Solutions title(s) that you own is among those that will be incorporated |
|
We have already incorporated many popular titles into the core product, either as additional features or a new module, such as Paperless Office and Direct Deposit that were added in 4.3 |
|
If you are not on the current release, version 4.3, and own a title(s) such as Paperless Office that is available in the core 4.3 product — please note that the separate titles that support older versions have been retired |
|
You'll continue to receive Compatibility and Product updates for Sage MAS 90 or 200 version 4.3 until the main features and functionality of your title(s) has been incorporated, and while you remain on Plan, you'll also continue to receive Customer Support for your title(s) until that time |
|
Year-End updates will be provided for Extended Solutions titles on version 4.3 through year-end 2009 |
|
If you aren't currently on version 4.3, and have plans to upgrade, you'll be able to request your Extended Solutions 4.3 title updates through your Business Partner or Sage Sales Advisor team until 11/1/2010 |
|
Please note that during the phase-in process of Extended Solution features over the next few product updates and releases, Sage will be focusing on incorporating those features into the core product, and therefore we will not bring Extended Solutions titles up to compatibility with the 4.4 release |
| |
|
|
We encourage you to work with your Business Partner to identify your needs, and the right solution for you. Your Business Partner may determine that by upgrading to the current release, 4.3, your needs will be met. They may be able to meet your needs by using the built-in Sage MAS 90 and 200 customization and scripting tools, which will produce customizations that survive upgrades and will streamline deployment to reduce the cost of your custom work. Another option is to engage one of our Development Partners, who can design product modifications outside the parameters of the built-in Sage MAS 90 and 200 tools. Your Business Partner will be able to recommend a Development Partner who has made a commitment to work with Extended Solutions titles.
For information on the titles that we will incorporate into the core product, please refer to the list published on the updated Extended Solutions Web page, SageMAS.com Extended Solutions section.
You may have questions that can be answered by reading the Extended Solutions FAQs. For further assistance, please contact your Business Partner, or your Sage Customer Advisor. Sincerely,
Laurie Schultz General Manager, Mid Market ERP Solutions Sage Business Solutions 13888 Wireless Way, Suite 120 Richmond, BC, Canada V6V 0A3 Laurie.Schultz@sage.com |
