Customer Relationship Management (CRM) integration with your accounting system is no different. As Sage has evolved as an organization it is important to understand how their perceptions of integrated CRM have evolved as well. Knowing the history helps quite a bit when looking at the options of integration with something like Sage ERP MAS 90 MAS 200 (soon becoming Sage 100 ERP) and an application like Sage CRM. The first thing to note is that MAS 90 MAS 200 has been around for a considerable period of time. And, during the late 90’s when CRM was first making headway the preferred integration was Sage SalesLogix. Believe it or not there are still some people on that integration and it works for a few organizations. After the acquisition of Accpac (and Sage CRM) from Computer Associates in 2004, new opportunities arose because Sage CRM was already integrated to Sage Pro (then named SBT) and Sage Accpac.</p><a href="http://blog.netatwork.com/index.php/component/myblog/which-crm-integration-for-mas-90-200-erp-is-right-for-me.html">Read More...</a> Danny Estrada Tue, 27 Mar 2012 07:00:00 +0100 Saleslogix sagecrm Sage 100 MAS90/200 ERP CRM http://blog.netatwork.com/index.php/component/myblog/which-crm-integration-for-mas-90-200-erp-is-right-for-me.html Sage ERP X3 Named 'Champion' in ERP Midmarket http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/netatwork/blog/~3/tDgAwKU98s0/sage-erp-x3-named-champion-in-erp-midmarket.html <p style="margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1px;"> </p><br/><p><img src="http://blog.netatwork.com/images/stories/62/article_x3_box.png" alt="" align="left" />Earlier this month Info-Tech Research Group released their Mid-Market ERP Vendor Landscape, and while they found that the keys to choosing ERP Software are pretty much the same, they report that there are new players, including Sage ERP X3, that are transforming mid-market ERP.</p><a href="http://blog.netatwork.com/index.php/component/myblog/sage-erp-x3-named-champion-in-erp-midmarket.html">Read More...</a> N@W Blog Team Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:39:04 +0100 Sage Software Sage ERP X3 ERP http://blog.netatwork.com/index.php/component/myblog/sage-erp-x3-named-champion-in-erp-midmarket.html Project Management – Why It’s Key to Your ERP Project Success http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/netatwork/blog/~3/NDwXLMTCmII/project-management-why-its-key-to-your-erp-project-success.html <p style="margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1px;"> </p><br/><p><img src="http://blog.netatwork.com/images/stories/0/article_project_management_2012.png" align="left" />Working with literally hundreds of software implementations over the past 20 years or so, I’m often surprised at client’s request to reduce or remove project management as a line item in their overall project budget.
