  • DataWest Services: Custom Crystal Reports Catalog
    .
    Crystal Reports (from Seagate's Crystal Decisions Software) is a tool you should be using if your company needs meaningful, presentation quality reports and forms. This application comes bundled with Library Master in every MAS 90/200 software purchase. Over the years, we've designed many reports for our clients and have now catalogued the most popular. You can click on the link below for a listing of these reports.

    You may also want to try designing your own. Seagate has done a good job over the last couple of releases of making the software more user-friendly. If you need help building a report of your own, our experts on staff can help you design the report or form to your specifications, making sure to include the information you need to have. We can design them with graphics, logos, diagrams, charts, and other inserted details. If you have a need for customized reports and form creation, give us a call at 800.613.6350 and we'll have you on the road to informative and visually compelling reports!

    Computer-Based Training and Self Study Guides
    .
    For companies who may have employee turnover or would like an available resource for their employees on hand, Best Software's Computer-Based Training (CBT) CDs and their Self-Study guides offer two different options in training. Both tools include self-quizzes at the end of each lesson and give employees the flexibility of self-paced learning. While you won't get the comprehensive one-on-one instruction of working with a trainer or consultant, these two training methods do offer considerable value as an in-house resource. The CBT CD's start at $150 and the Self- Study Guides start at $50. The link below directs you to the CBT page. From the left side of that page, you can access information on the Self-Study Guides.

    Vertex Sales Tax RateLocator
    For those clients who need access to current sales tax information, Best Software has announced the availability of Vertex's Sales Tax RateLocator service for MAS 90/200 customers. The RateLocator service is a desktop utility that allows customers to simply look up sales tax rates for a given state or local jurisdiction, including Canada. You can look up rates by city, state or zip among many other options. Once the rate is located, you simply enter the value into the appropriate sales transaction screen within MAS 90/200. Check our FAQ sheet for more details about this new tool for your business-
