MAS 90 extended solutions and System Upgrade
If you have been on MAS 90 accounting for years and not satisfied with the MAS 90 reports and MAS 90 support and customization options, you are identical to one of our customers where we have achieved some significant breakthrough.
You will agree that moving over to MAS 200 is a costly proposition.
Implementing a new product is no easy task either. So be prepared to shell out money for either of these approaches. But the good news for you is we have an alternative that will save you a lot of money.
Stage 1
The key here is to employ a state of the art relational database as a proxy-database. Next, data from your MAS 90 system database is periodically synchronized with this new proxy database. The proxy database now provides a powerful platform for flexible report generation. You specify the reports you would like to have that would improve your business decision making and you will have it. You have a MAS 90 extended solutions right here with an unbelievably low cost.
Advantages
- Not expensive to implement.
- Browser based reports, no software to be installed on every client machine.
- Web service that drives system, as well as database, can rest on one single machine, and has no license costs.
- Much wider range of reports possible.
- Existing system not tampered with.
Stage 2
There are two great advantages you go into stage 2 with.
- You have established already a 'keep the end in mind' approach, by specifying all the reports or the information system that your business is best served by, right upfront.
- Since your proxy database, which is a state of the art relational database is now holding all your data, your data is intact and there is literally no data migration risk that you need to fear now.
Armed with these terrific advantages, there is the option now to use a new product (yes, MAS 200 would also be an option now) or custom develop a new application that is in tune with your business workflows. If you are choosing the custom development approach, you have the option to include additional office automation modules.
Advantages
- A 'keeping the end in mind' approach. With Stage 1 consolidating the reporting system, backward integration of workflows.
- Business workflow integration into either a new Product or a customized application is with much better control
- More coverage of business specific workflows as we work reports backwards.
- Stage 1 consolidation would have ensured that all data is now safe in a state of the art relational database. Therefore data remains intact through Stage 2 customizations. No issues with data migration
