Unexpected Ways Upgrading to Sage MAS 500 version 7.3 Saves Time and Money
Friday, October 23, 2009 by Julie Stankey
Typically when a new version of software is released, all of the buzz is around the latest features and what they can do to enhance your user experience. While the newest version of Sage MAS 500 (version 7.3) is packed with new features, perhaps the greatest advantage to upgrading to 7.3 is in the functionality of the Ohio Sage MAS 500 software itself.
By comparing Sage MAS 500 7.2 and 7.3 side-by-side, it is clear to see that the performance and scalability improvements alone make upgrading to 7.3 worthwhile.
If your concurrent MAS 500 user count has ever been an issue, rest assured it won’t be anymore. Scalability in 7.3 has been improved to support 70% more concurrent users than version 7.2 while maintaining a comparable response time!
In addition to improving scalability, version 7.3 also brings a significant improvement in system performance across a number of areas compared to the initial release of 7.2.*
As you can see, there is between 50% and 200% improvement in processing time for all major document creation transactions in MAS 500 7.3. The performance improvements don’t stop there though:
- Cash Receipts Entry load & process is up to 99% faster on large loads
- Saved Edited Shipment is approximately 50% faster
- Enter Sales Order and Print Invoice is approximately 75% faster
- Sales Order Shipment Commit is approximately 70% faster
- Sales Order Shipment Validation is approximately 50% faster
- Manufacturing Work Order Posting is up to 95% faster on large postings
These improvements in system performance not only save you time and therefore money when you are processing transactions, but they also provide you with more system stability: reducing the number times the system locks up and keeping you productive and your server running smoothly for longer.
