Welcoming the Sage 200 Suite

Advent are delighted to announce the launch of the Sage 200 business management software suite, formerly known as Sage MMS. Sage 200 helps companies manage a complete range of business processes with a single suite of integrated business software.

The foundation of the new Sage 200 Suite is the Sage 200 Platform, which comprises both the Sage 200 Financials and Sage 200 CRM (Customer Relationship Management) modules. The introduction of CRM to the suite underpins a number of business processes, including sales, marketing, customer and supplier relationships.

Customers can choose to build on their core Sage 200 Platform by adding extra modules, such as, Bill of Materials, Commercials, Project Accounting, Construction, or by simply adding extra users to the core functions to suit their individual business requirements.
