Implementation Plan

Implementing a new accounting software system is never an easy task. Careful planning is the key ingredient to the long term success of your new system. AAIS consultants have the unique blend of accounting practice knowledge and experience as CPAs and technology know how from years of experience required to ensure that all considerations are made to get you off and going in the right direction quickly. AAIS will develop with you and your staff a good fit implementation plan that will help you get all you can out of your Sage MAS90 / Sage MAS200 accounting software.

Existing System Integration

Your decision to implement a new accounting software system sometimes requires that all or part of an existing industry specific software program continue to be used and integrated with the new software. The developers of Sage MAS90 and Sage MAS200 have included the necessary software tools to ensure just that. AAIS specializes in developing software integration solutions to take advantage of these tools. We will carefully plan and develop with you a customized solution that fits your needs and allows you to continue to take advantage of industry tools and begin to take full advantage of Sage MAS90 and Sage MAS200 accounting software.

Data Conversion

A major concern of businesses that are implementing a new computer system is how the existing data will end up in the new system. Having staff enter the data while keeping your existing system going is both, time consuming and prone to error. Data conversion saves time, frustration, and reduces errors. Also, once converted the data can be used by your staff during training exercises. This provides a much more meaningful training experience for your staff.

Sage MAS90/Sage MAS200 provides state of the art tools for converting your existing data from almost any system. AAIS professionals have helped clients convert their existing systems to Sage MAS90/Sage MAS200 for over 17 years. We have converted data from Open Systems, Great Plains, Solomon, Platinum, Peachtree, Quickbooks, Businessworks, Champion, Macola, AS400 systems, Prime systems, and many others.

Additionally, we have the expertise to assist in the clean-up of your present data. We can remove inactive customers and vendors you no longer need. We can search for duplicate accounts, and merge them together or delete the inactive ones. If you have found your current numbering methods to be outdated or ineffective, we can assist with renumbering of GL accounts, customer numbers, vendor numbers, item numbers, or any other data files that would require a significant amount of work to redo manually.
