SQL Server Version Of Sage ERP MAS 200 Available For Upgrade

By: | Category: ERP

With the release of Sage ERP MAS 200 Version 4.5, clients have the option to migrate their software to a Microsoft SQL Server database, with all the security and performance characteristics of this platform. In this post we review the benefits of SQL Server and current available modules.

Benefits Of SQL Server

Here we discuss four important benefits of SQL Server: performance, availability, security, and low cost of maintenance.

  • Performance: SQL Server offers exceptional scalability as you add users and transactions. You also can add indexes to improve performance as needed.
  • Availability: SQL Server includes innovative high-availability features such as database mirroring and replication, to minimize downtime and help to ensure that critical systems remain available.
  • Security: Administrators can easily manage permissions. You can set consistent login policies across all accounts in the domain. SQL Server includes encryption capabilities within the database itself.
  • Low Cost Maintenance: A single management console enables data administrators to monitor, manage, and tune databases and associated services from anywhere in your organization.

Same Code Base

All modules in the new Business Framework have software code that can be used for both the SQL and Providex databases, so customers can be assured that the SQL version will move forward into new versions at the same pace as the Providex version. With Version 4.5, data conversion and migration is available from both Sage ERP MAS 200 SQL Version 3.71 as well as current versions of Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 on the Providex platform.

Licenses Available From Sage

Sage SQL Runtime Edition licenses and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition licenses are available from Sage in two licensing models: per user or per processor. Licenses are limited for use with Sage ERP and integrated third-party or development partner solutions.

Modules available for SQL Server do not include modules that have not yet been updated to the Business Framework, so if you are considering SQL Server, we will need to carefully evaluate the modules in use in your organization. The modules and Sage solutions that are available for Sage ERP MAS 200 SQL 4.5 are:

  • Core accounting: GL, AR, AP, and BR
