User Group Meeting Recap

Brian Rice — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:53:47 +0000

Thanks to everyone that attend the lastest Sage MAS 90/200 User Group. At the meeting on Thursday, August 13, Esther reviewed the budgeting tools available in MAS 90 and MAS 200 including importing, exporting, adjustments and reporting. We invited Conrad Almase from Technology Advisors to give an overview of customer relationship management applications and explain the benefits to accounting departments as well as sales, marketing and service departments. As always, we closed with what I consider the most valuable aspect of our meetings: the open dialogue. When we open the floor, everyone is invited to ask questions and share ideas. In most instances, one or several users have experience with the topic being discussed which makes the User Group meetings a great place to find ideas to solve problems or to find something new to try.

Let us know what you think the most valuable part of the User Group meetings are by leaving a comment. If you have suggestions for new topics, leave those in the comments too.

Next week we will distribute the latest edition of the *info newsletter. Readers of the blog are getting a jump on everyone else with this link.

This issue covers two issues we have been discussing with our customers recently: Paperless Office and the new Sage Communities. Both of these topics are approached from a different perspective as well as the curious ghost asset fixed asset tracking issue.

SageTalk and the New Sage Communities

Brian Rice — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:17:58 +0000

Since Sage introduced the Sage MAS Online Community and Discussion Forum in 2008, it seemed inevitable that the popular and content-full SageTalk Discussion Forum would be retired and after the end of this month the site will become a read-only resource. No new posts or replies will be allowed but it seems that the existing information will remain in place indefinitely for reference purposes.

Although it isn’t as well-stocked as its predecessor, after participating in the new forum, you will likely come to the conclusion that it is an improvement. Messages can include images and are much easier to edit that with SageTalk. RSS feeds for the Core Modules and other sections and Twitter feeds are available, too.
