IN-SYNCH

Allows you to connect Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 to a pre-existing website, no matter what Database Server it accesses. Using IN-SYNCH allows for full control and flexibility in designing, creating and customizing your corporate web site and store front.

IN-SYNCH becomes an “extension” to Sage MAS 90 ERP database, and it interacts with the database that drives the third-party software application (or website), and synchronizes the data shared between the two systems. IN-SYNCH allows Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 to become the management tool for maintaining the database, eliminating the need for double entry of data, while allowing the store front or front-end solution to continue to function if Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 should become unavailable. IN-SYNCH achieves this by queuing the transactions to be processed, and monitoring the queue to ensure error free transactions.

eBusiness Manager

The eBusiness Manager module brings this capability to Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 ERP in an easy-to-implement, out-of-the box solution. While simple to implement, eBusiness Manager also manages to be flexible and feature-rich, providing many customization capabilities available in much more expensive systems.

Three additional applets are available for eBusiness Manager from the Extended Solutions library.
