Pythagoras Communications, a leading UK Sage business partner is pleased to report the continued success of the Sage 200 taster day workshops held in partnership with Sage UK at London’s Royal Yacht Club.
Jeremy Cook, Sage sales manager at Pythagoras commented on the continued success of the days, stating “The Sage 200 taster days have been a great success so far, the location provides an intimate and inspiring setting allowing customers or business individuals an interactive session showcasing the benefits of customised Sage 200 software from Pythagoras.”
The taster days are suited to companies not currently utilising Sage software who are looking to integrate company wide accounts and CRM in one solution; as well as existing Sage Line 50, MMS and Sage Line 100 customers who are looking to upgrade with the end of life support for Sage Line 100 expected in the coming months.

The benefits of Sage 200 Business Intelligence
Sage 200 Business Intelligence is best utilised looking into past trends; the more data which is used in BI the better it will operate and the more accurate the results will be. Business Intelligence tool is not best used to see how much your customers owe at present and balances but more how much a person has paid over time, and any trends or irregularities in their long term payment structure.
Furthermore data from Sage 200 Business Intelligence allows the user to bring through data seamlessly in to Excel; individual vertical cubes allow data comparison against a number of variables such as year to date (ytd), past few years, individual product lines and stores to name a few. Another added advantage Sage 200 BI in Excel brings is that users without Sage licences can utilise BI in Excel; the data can then be shared internally via methods such as email and share point.
Benefits offered by Sage 20 BI:
• Make faster, more informed and confident decisions
• Easy and fast deployment
• Easy to understand and use
• Reporting and analytics within the comfort of Microsoft® Excel
• Pre-defined reports out-of-the-box
• Dynamic Charts
Work spaces within Sage 200 are customisable spaces within the screen which can meet the user’s individual needs and requirements at a glance from data which is gathered from a number of sources. Furthermore on top of the ten out of the box workspaces available within the Sage 200 package Pythagoras has successfully developed two additional work spaces to enhance the productivity; the Outstanding Works Order workspace and the Stock profitability workspace.
Overall, Sage 200 workspaces deliver maximum value for the user at minimum effort.
