Antique Roadshow or A Good Sign?

The exploration of what the future holds for the MAS 90 and MAS 200 accounting software products made by Sage Software continues as we take a look at a recent announcement made by Sage's Sales Department.

In an effort to rally the troops and communicate their message, Sage sales recently announced that they would be hitting the road, traveling the states sponsoring get-together sessions with MAS90 and MAS 200 VAR's to talk about the importance of selling the MAS 90 and MAS 200 products and communicating their intent to further develop the links between MAS and other Sage Software products.

From one perspective, this could be a good sign. Sage wants to open lines of communication with it's vendors and lay out some jargon about the MAS products. Communication is always a good thing, and kudos to Sage for taking the time and effort to communicate with their base.

From another perspective, it appears they want to simply give their version of self-help and success stories so as to press on with the sale of new MAS product and largely avoid the topic of their aged technology.

Tell me what you think? Leave a comment.

Is Sage's MAS tour a good sign for the future of MAS90 and MAS200?

Or is the tour simply an antique roadshow?
