The release of Sage 200 v2010 further strengthens their customer and mid market divisions as well as crucially supporting trends in the lower mid market. Sage 200 v2010 has been developed after close reviews of feedback from customers and key business partners such as Pythagoras.

The release of Sage 200 v2010 has 3 key themes; accessibility, information management and customer satisfaction. As a key business partner with enviable in house experts and support Pythagoras outlines below some of the key benefits Sage 200v2010 can bring to your organisation weather you are a current Sage customer on Sage Line 50, Line 100 or 200 looking to upgrade or a new customer looking to implement Sage 200 v2010 to help take your business to the next level;

New Report Designer as seen in Sage Line 50

The new report designer brings a host of benefits including:

• Simplified reporting scheme
• Simplified use of analysis codes for reporting
• Improved look and feel and usability
• Report editing in preview mode
• Drill-down reports

Furthermore, being directly from Line 50 this ensures a smoother transition for those upgrading to Sage 200 v2010 thanks to product consistency. For those 200 users who are upgrading, the majority of reports will be migrated across to the new report designer however the old report designer is included to run alongside the new one to enable amended/ bespoke reports to be upgraded if they cannot automatically be migrated.

Sage 200 Mobile

Sage 200 Mobile allows users of Sage 200 access to data whilst on the move, giving them the power to make decisions when not in the office. The data currently available is aimed at the Financial Director, Managing Director, Sales Person and Project Manager roles. Sage 200 Mobile further allows a more effective and knowledgeable workforce, allowing them to be up to date on individual client information directly before meetings; spending more time on the road and less time in the office updating their knowledge.

2 New Workspaces

• Live Sales Order Status
• Allocated Stock

New BOM (Bill of Materials) Module

The re-write of the Sage 200 BOM module for Sage 200 v2010 is a strategic initiative by Sage to bring Sage 50 Manufacturing BOM, Sage 200 Manufacturing BOM and Sage 200 BOM (previously MMS BOM) into a single code base. This means from the release of Sage 200 v2010 the existing Sage 200 BOM module will no longer ship as part of the Sage 200 Suite, and will be replaced with the re-engineered Sage 200 BOM module. Sage’s initiative on bringing modules into a single code base will continue with the Sage 200 Manufacturing module being re-written in stages.
