Developing MAS 90 Software: Four Questions To Ask Your Vendor

Be sure your Sage software support team is experienced in developing MAS 200 and MAS 90 software so that you're never without a customized solution to any accounting or ERP dilemma. Ask these four questions to determine whether your MAS 90 support team is fully qualified.

Although anyone with a website can sell you ERP solutions for your small or medium-sized business, it can be disastrous for your company if you wind up purchasing an accounting software package that doesn't fit your needs or isn't fully backed by experienced customer support. Two very popular ERP solutions are MAS 90 and MAS 200. These two have been business favorites for decades because they are scalable and customizable with quick learning curves for users. But not all vendors are experienced at developing programs to your specifications or fully supporting the system after it's in place. When you're choosing a consulting firm or software vendor to supply you with ERP solutions, be sure to ask the right questions.
Question 1: How Experienced Are You With ERP Support?
Both programs, MAS 200 and 90,have been around for years, constantly evolving and becoming the powerhouse ERP solutions they are today. During that time, experienced developers, programmers and consultants have been learning the complexities of the programs so that they can customize solutions for businesses and capably serve their customers. The right vendors should be able to install the operating system and applications and get them up and running flawlessly, integrating them with your current software. They should also have extensive experience across a variety of legacy systems so that integration is seamless.
Don't settle for a firm that hasn't been around for at least a decade; new software support companies may not have the years of experience or qualified people to fully integrate or update things. Some disreputable companies may advertise that they can provide appropriate MAS 90 support, but if they can't demonstrate their experience, you may end up disappointed.
Question #2: Are You Current With Your Licensing Fees?
This may sound like a simple question, but it's imperative that any company or consultant who works on your ERP system be properly certified by the system's developer. Without current licensing, programmers don't have access to current applications or updated source codes so that they can customize your accounting and ERP systems properly over time.
Question #3: Are Your Programmers Certified By The Software Company?
Any consultant or company in the business of developing or offering MAS 90 support should be certified by the manufacturer of these programs. Certification ensures that the programmers are thoroughly versed in how it is designed, how the code is written and how to make changes that will work with legacy systems. In order to be certified, they have to go through an extensive training protocol and pass an exam. Looking for the term "Master Developer" is one way to ensure that any modifications you require will be implemented flawlessly. Master Developers can also add new modules to your existing modules.
Question #4: Can You Offer Remote MAS 90 Support To Multiple Locations?
Your ERP should be able to grow with your company. It should be capable of expanding with your business, but without proper MAS 90 support, it can't achieve its full potential through customization. Make sure they can work with multiple users at multiple locations so that you can increase personnel and add new business locations to the system without worrying about customer service limitations.
MAS 90 and MAS 200 are exceptional ERP software solutions, but they are only as good as the customer support backing them. Be sure you work with the right vendor or consulting firm by asking the right questions.
