[April 28, 2008] Sage Software Offers New Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite (Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Sage Software announced its new Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite consisting of Sage Accpac ERP version 5.5 with integrated CRM. The Suite combines the benefits of ERP and CRM to support integrated front and back office business processes and workflow. The company said this improves decision making ability by providing insight into what is happening within the business, enhances collaboration between departments and facilitates improved customer relationships by providing employees from across the business with one complete and consistent view of the customer. "Small and medium-sized businesses need simple, integrated business processes, workflows, and access to reliable information," said Laurie Schultz, Sage Software general manager for Sage Accpac. "An extended enterprise solution provides transparency and control over the entire business. With simplicity in product and pricing, new, improved support offerings, and better synchronization of complementary application availability, the convenience and value offered by our new Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite is our next step in that direction, and you'll see more of this approach from Sage Software in the future." Sage Accpac ERP now includes SageCRM, a Customer Relationship Management solution comprising Sales, Marketing and Customer Service Automation. Simplified workflow is also supported through tighter integration with Sage Accpac HRMS (human resource management system) and Sage FAS Fixed Assets. Also supporting an extended view of the enterprise is the new analytical dashboards feature. The dashboards provide easily accessed snapshots of the business that help managers better analyze, predict, and manage business performance. Key performance indicators, such as age of accounts, are instantly available, providing alerts that can be turned into actions through collections, payables and other tasks, resulting in potential cost and cash flow improvements. This latest version of Accpac also provides significant usability enhancements throughout the system, including a new Account Rollup feature that supports automatic account consolidation in the general ledger, new multicurrency revaluation options, and streamlined processes for managing job tracking, the company noted in a release.
