Release Highlights
Enable collaboration and interoperability through new technology that leverages the current superior architecture of Sage ERP Accpac.
Sage ERP Accpac Version 6.0 is the first step in our journey of releasing a full Web 2.01-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solution. The “Web 2.0” technology approach will offer the most secure, flexible data management possible.
Optimize new technology adoption, as a global synchronized release of all modules keeps the old and new working together harmoniously.
Sage ERP Accpac Version 6.0 will be a synchronized release, like Version 5.6, meaning all modules will be available globally for use on the same date. The new web framework user interface components will require a web server to function and will use new technology.
However, old screens and new screens will “co-exist” allowing users to move when they are ready to take advantage of the benefits of the new user interface – such as personalizing the desktop for quick access to the screens they open most often.
The old user interface screens can be accessed through the new Sage ERP Accpac Portal, even though they have not been moved to the new web framework.
Improve productivity with the Sage ERP Accpac Portal providing faster, personalized role-based access to information, so you can accomplish everyday tasks more quickly and focus on strategic projects.
The Sage ERP Accpac Portal simplifies desktop navigation and allows users customizable, faster access to information so they can accomplish everyday tasks more quickly and focus on strategic projects. The old Sage ERP Accpac Desktop will co-exist with the new portal, as it is familiar to users.
However, the new Portal is designed to eliminate many challenges reported by our customers associated to the classic desktop, simplifying layout and maximize multi-tasking.
Envision success with Sage ERP Accpac Snapshots providing secure access of key performance indicators for more proactive trend analysis.
The Sage ERP Accpac Snapshots allow users secure access of key performance indicators (KPI’s), with drilldown capabilities to underlying financial reports. The graphical presentation of information helps with quick identification of trends or issues for more proactive business decisions.
Version 6.0 includes the following user-configurable Snapshots: Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Aged Receivables, Aged Payables, Days Receivables Outstanding and Days Payables Outstanding.
Get the information you need, faster! Sage ERP Accpac Inquiry facilitates quick access to customized lists providing the answers you need to make better decisions and lowers the cost of custom reporting.
Empower users at all levels of the organization to gain immediate access to information from Sage ERP Accpac providing greater business visibility and insight to improve business performance. Insight helps uncover opportunities and highlight possible issues, enabling your workforce to make better decisions and execute appropriate actions in response to ever-changing business needs.
Sage ERP Accpac Inquiry allows even inexperienced users to create personalized ad-hoc query lists in just a few minutes without the knowledge of databases, programming or web technologies. The highly intuitive interface puts custom information access within easy reach of everyday non-technical users and means minimal training and IT support. It’s quick and easy to create database connections, add fields and customize data. Version 6.0 supports the new Inquiry in the Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and General Ledger modules.
Accelerate growth and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) with SageCRM Workflow Enhancements that improve information flow between the front and back office.
Growing a business in today’s economy can be challenging. To help you succeed, the latest version of Sage ERP Accpac offers you CRM included in your solution! Version 6.0 introduces improvements to the Sage ERP Accpac and SageCRM workflow that will allow CRM users the ability to create orders from within SageCRM without opening the full Sage ERP Accpac Order Entry screens.
Save time on month end processes and reduce erroneous postings from individual modules to the general ledger through better management of fiscal periods.
Sage ERP Accpac Version 6.0 allows users to lock fiscal periods for all modules (including G/L) or a specific module. Users with the “Maintain Fiscal Calendar” security rights will be able to edit the Fiscal Calendar for any application. With the new capability, modules can be locked down for specific periods until everything is completed, preventing any unwanted discrepancies.
Easily adopt new enhancements and get new employees up to speed faster and more cost effectively with training and usability improvements like the Getting Started Snapshot.
You can quickly get all employees up to speed on the improvements in this release through the “What’s New” Anytime Learning course specifically for Version 6.0.
This online course will demonstrate how you can put all of the great new enhancements to work in your business. Best of all, this course is offered at no additional cost to you. Visit www.SageU.com/accpac for details.
Ensure optimal business management with included SageCRM 7.0, now at a lower total cost of ownership to utilize and Sage ERP Accpac Intelligence.
Version 5.5 offered the SageCRM Server and a single-user license in the release and 6.0 further lowers the cost of true front-to-back office integration by removing the Sage ERP Accpac user license requirement in the quote to order entry workflow. The new Sage ERP Accpac Inquiry component may eliminate the need for current custom reports.
Adopt new user interface at your own pace and ensure a smooth transition to Web-technology for your business.
The evolution of technology is as certain as death and taxes. Hardware, databases, operating systems (OS), servers, and all IT infrastructures are ever-evolving. New versions of Sage ERP Accpac are designed to support these latest servers, operating systems, hardware, and database technologies, ensuring that your system is supported and running at peak performance.
