Liberate Your Business Why Switch to Sage Software? Discover Why Others Have Made the Move to Sage Software	It's Not Easy Being Project Green More Than Just Great Software

Liberate your business from software limitations

The truest measure of a company isn’t size. It’s substance. Don’t restrict yourself. Find out how Sage Software is better equipped than anyone to streamline your small or midsized business (SMB), to make you more competitive. Our sole focus is to provide business management software and services to SMBs. Our applications cover more business requirements than competing solutions in this space, including accounting, CRM, contact management, human resources, warehouse management, manufacturing, and applications for specific industries, among many others.

Two fundamental truths why businesses prefer Sage Software

Sage Software understands your business – More than 5 million SMBs turn to Sage Software solutions for one good reason: Our top priority is to keep your business in mind as we develop long-term, integrated solutions to meet your current needs and challenges, as well as your dreams.

Microsoft is trying to be everything to everyone and constantly struggling with a resource balance between all their business units, consumer products, and technology offerings. Additionally, Microsoft is constantly changing their product roadmaps, release dates, and partner models. Sage Software is completely focused on helping SMBs thrive in challenging business climates.

Intuit QuickBooks can only help you if your business stagnates with fewer than 15 users for the long term, restricting you from expanding your system beyond the needs of a small business. Invest in a software company that focuses completely on the SMB market to maximize the productivity of your business—trust Sage Software.

There’s no comparison, Sage Software does more – Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200, and Sage MAS 500 ERP systems are directly comparable to the newly renamed Microsoft Dynamics line. Dynamics is merely a re-branding exercise for Great Plains, Navision, Solomon, and Axapta, also formerly known as Microsoft Business Solutions. With the release of QuickBooks Enterprise, Intuit is promising an advanced solution for the mid-market when in fact it offers little more than additional users and transaction capacity.

Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200, and Sage MAS 500
give you a big edge with more robust business management functionality and scalability, especially during times of rapid growth. You can automate more operations, and retain control of selecting the modules and technologies that match the way you do business. Sage Software offers more software options to suit individual business needs and better migration paths from small to medium businesses.

It’s not easy being green

Microsoft has changed direction several times concerning Project Green. At first this was a unification of all their existing code bases into one separate product, then it changed to waves of improvements, and today it is simply a re-branded name of existing products under Microsoft Dynamics. Don’t get confused with Green marketing hype. Instead, choose clear product roadmaps and upgrade strategies from Sage Software—the perfect shade of green.
