The latest version of Sage 200 is set for release and Sage has been listening closely to feedback from customers and business partners, utilising wish lists and focus groups across the suite, as well as adding new features which support those trends in the lower mid-market which are relevant to its customers.

The Sage 200 v2010 release has three key themes:

Accessibility - Gartner identified hyper speed and hyper connectivity as key emerging trends in the lower mid-market. Hyper speed is about the improved integration and accessibility of information within a business, providing improved internal capability with one view of the customer, enabling smarter and faster decisions. Hyper connectivity is more focused on accessing data from outside of the business, its immediacy and agility of response, connectivity across borders and technologies and being able to access key information that is relevant to your customer’s role no matter where they are.
 

Information Management - The v2010 release brings phase 2 of our ongoing Information Management strategy - making information within the Suite more available to users in their day-to-day roles. Phase 2 of this strategy sees the introduction of the new Sage Report Designer, further additional workspaces in the desktop and the new Sage 200 mobile solution which utilises out of the box workspaces that are rendered on a Blackberry device.

Customer Satisfaction - Sage has continued listening to client and Business Partners feedback. In the v2010 release, they have implemented many top wish list requests (equating to almost 400 contacts within the wish list), including a number which close some common Sage 50 gaps. The Sage 200 v2010 launch helps to improve usability and customer satisfaction with enhanced project accounting performance, project filtering, improved installation routines, CRM integration enhancements and the implementation of top wish list items.
