Compare Sage MAS 90, MAS 200 and MAS 500 to Microsoft Dynamics
Why Sage Products are better suited to Small and Mid-sized businesses.
1. Sage's Small and Mid-Sized Business (SMB) Orientation vs. Microsoft's Technology OrientationSage MAS 90 and 200 were built for and by the SMB marketplace. This rich heritage and deep CPA influence is a key differentiator between Sage MAS 90, MAS 200, MAS 500 and the Dynamics® solutions. The Dynamics brand is based on the ability of technology and not the needs of the SMB
|
|
|
marketplace. Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 offer simple implementation and ease-of-use without the needless technology overhead.
Microsoft's commitment to leverage the Microsoft technology stack (the increasingly complex technologies that underpin their products.) is another indication that they do not understand small and mid-market client needs. Customers are saddled with additional server requirements in order to leverage the entire suite of solutions. |
| |
| In contrast, Sage MAS 90 and 200 offer an embedded database and codeless customization tools without the additional license costs of SQL Server or internal database administrators. For larger organizations, Sage MAS 500 provides a product for those customers that need additional scalability and SQL technology at the technology pace |
|
a mid-market customer demands. Incidentally Sage MAS 500 has been |
 |
exclusively developed for the Microsoft technology platforms—something Microsoft will offer only with a next generation solution.
2. Built-In Data Migration vs. Extensive Service Calls
While Microsoft touts the individual benefits of all four Dynamics solutions, the fact remains that any customer wanting to migrate from one Dynamics solution to another has no method for moving data between systems without paying for an extensive service engagement. Sage MAS 500 provides the built-in ability to migrate data directly from Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200. This goes beyond static entity data by also providing application defaults, system entries, and current and history transactions. |
|
| |
The lack of migration capability on the part of Dynamics is extended to popular retail solutions, including QuickBooks and Peachtree. Sage MAS 90 and 200 understand the total cost of ownership requirements of growing businesses and provide out-of-the-box data migration capabilities for both QuickBooks and Peachtree with the same design principles found within Sage MAS 500.
Simply bringing over customer and vendor information is not enough. Sage Software understands this requirement and the need to do it in a cost-effective manner. Thousands of hours have been spent designing and developing built-in data migration assistance capabilities
