Sage 100 ERP is the most comprehensive enterprise resource planning software suite for small to midsized businesses. Their software is perfect for streamlining a company’s operations in a cost-effective, efficient, and secure manner. 

Do you still have an older version of Sage 100 ERP?

If so, now is the time to upgrade to Sage 100 ERP Version 4.4. 

Here are several compelling reasons as to why you should upgrade: 

• Newer, updated, on-demand dashboards show your data in ways that will give you greater insight into distribution, manufacturing, and purchasing.
• Customer and item number fields have been improved by the addition of unique identifying information.
• Data entry screens have now been personalized, and each screen matches the workflow for each employee’s role. The data entry screens quickly launch related tasks, attach related documents to records, and set the appropriate security level based on employee responsibility.
• A new feature called “Paperless Office” saves money and the environment by generating documents, emails, faxes, etc. and then efficiently storing and retrieving them electronically.
• A streamlined physical count process saves time and improves accuracy by saving your default on-hand quantities; you’ll only have to update items that have changed.
• Tax reporting processes have been streamlined, with easier ways to fill out and submit federal and state tax forms, unemployment information, payroll, new hires, 1099s, and W-2s.
• “Bar Code” now uses radio-frequency handhelds and incorporates user-defined fields that capture data more accurately and simplify your inventory processes.

So not only does the new Sage 100 ERP Version 4.4 have features to make your business easier to run as well as more efficient, it also has features that will make upgrading easy and painless: 

• Your business will continue to run on its existing system while Sage 100 ERP Version 4.4 is being prepared, which means no down time between projects.
• Not only have powerful  new methods been implemented to make customizations easier than ever, personalizing your system every time you upgrade is a thing of the past – the new Sage 100 ERP Version 4.4 will saves your customizations and prevents them from being lost in future upgrades.
• A feature called “Parallel” minimizes the impact of upgrading by automatically transferring the data that’s already in your previous Sage 100 ERP into the updated software.
