Good system if you already have it, doesn't worth the investment as a new system.

It's our accounting system for book keeping. It's not useful for financial reporting. We have about 18 users using it, between people who enter data and people who are a view only users.

Long Time Sage/Accpac Clients
Pros
- Payroll is strong - very happy with integration with our scheduling software for EMS as well as the salaried employees.
- The reporting, though sometimes cumbersome to set up - is strong once it is in place.
- The G/L is accessible by all upper management - and used to see how close to the budget each area is.
Cons
- Little things, like changing the company name - are more difficult than we would like (We used to be MSDSSAB but legally shortened it to MSDSB).
- A management financial reporting tool with live access - to premade reports - without paying an arm and a leg would be appreciated.
- More training opportunities in local areas - or nearby - would be appreciated...
Return on Investment
- Hard to say - Accpac (in one form or another) is all we have ever used, thus there is no real comparison to make to show impact vs another application.
- Sage 300 ERP is the backbone of our organization - efficiently dealing with payroll and budgets in excess of 30 million dollars per year.
