If your company is large or growing and has high transaction volume and/or wide area network requirements, then the client/server version of our software is for you. Mas 200 is available for either the Microsoft SQL Server relational database platform or a high performance b-tree file system.
Thin-Client Architecture - Mas 200 takes advantage of the latest Internet and intranet compatible, thin-client architecture. This architecture delivers top performance in WAN and remote access enivronments, as well as delivering data at top speed on your local network.
Deisgned for Wide Area Networks (WANs) and Remote Access Environments - Mas 200 is ideal for multi-site business because it is optimized for remote access environments.
With MAS 200, you can use Virtual Private Networking (VPN) technology to securely and cost-effectively connect accounting and bookkeeping departments from various remote offices across the Internet. By taking advantage of VPN technology, you can significantly reduce the expensive data transport costs associated with a dedicated line. MAS 200 is also compatible with Citrix and Windows Terminal Services, although these products are not required to enable MAS 200 over a WAN.
Optimized for TCP/IP- MAS 200 provides fast, reliable TCP/IP connectivity to facilitate file and resource sharing over the network.
Performance - The client/server engine performs smoothly even during peak transaction processing and even with a large number of accounting users.
Enhanced Data Integrity - A critical benefit of thin client architecture is an overall reduction in network traffic. Lower traffic can increase reliability and data intgrety systemwide.
Sage MAS 200 and SQL Server is the perfect marriage of products for midsized businesses. Microsoft SQL Server represents the culmination of significant initiatives from Microsoft in terms of ease of use, scalability, and data management. Current versions of SQL Server have been designed for businesses that cannot afford to spend excessive time maintaining their computer systems. Sage MAS 200 ERP–SQL Server Edition is a robust, full-fledged implementation that has been thoughtfully created to take full advantage of the SQL features that are especially beneficial to accounting and business management software. SQL Server combines the power of a relational database with the ease of use that today’s businesses require. Pairing SQL Server with the functionality and flexibility of Sage MAS 200, provides a high-performance, cost-effective, manageable accounting software solution.
What’s the Difference Between Standard Sage MAS 200 and Sage MAS 200–SQL Server Edition?
The major difference is how your data is stored; the application programs and functionality are identical in both products. In the Standard version, the data is stored in individual b-tree type files on your server’s hard drive. In the SQL Server version, the data is stored in normalized tables within a relational database. While both products provide access to the data using ODBC, data stored within a SQL server database can provide a better foundation for reporting, analysis, and integration.
