There may be no better exposure to MAS 90 and MAS 200 than attending Sage Summit. Of course it take a full week including travel to and from Atlanta, GA, but you will find yourself surrounded by great resources. There are four days of learning with guided learning tracks if you choose to focus on one area:

  • Mastering the Essentials
  • Becoming a Power User
  • Exploring Integration
  • Looking Ahead at Product Futures
  • Administering and Implementing Your System
  • Report Writing Essentials
  • Business Building

Registration is open. If you have thoughts about Sage Summit, share them in the comments. Let me know what you think (good and bad) or if you are considering attending.

Spreadsheets are great for calculating interest but they are not an effective way to generate reports. Use your software. Today every business management software package has some kind of custom report writer available, yet many businesses are creating their business critical reports using Excel. Learning your system’s custom reporting tool and creating your reports using these tools will provide companies with huge return. Once custom reports are created, and all transactions are completed for that accounting period, then reports are generated at the touch of a button and the report contains actual data. Spreadsheet reports require too much time for data entry, possibility for data entry error and probability of formula corruption. Spreadsheet reports lack timeliness, integrity and the ability to reproduce historical reports.
