Are resellers all the same? What are some of the things you should be looking for in a
reseller? How can you get the lowest price for Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200? This page is designed to
offer straight-forward advice in choosing a reseller who best suits your needs, as well
as convey our personal approach as a Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 reseller.
Pricing.
If you do some comparison-shopping around the Internet, you will find some
astounding sales pitches, including one site that boasts Sage MAS 90 prices at 70% less
than suggested list prices. Be wary of the websites who “deep discount” Sage MAS 90.
These sites often do not list a phone number, address, or any other information
regarding their own company on their website. These sites are designed to take
orders through email or a phone number set up for orders only. This is important
to consider if you receive questionable software that does not have the backing of
the manufacturer. The fact is there are companies selling Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200, who are
not authorized by the manufacturer, Sage Software. Where they are getting the
software, we have no clue, but we do know it’s not directly from Sage. The truth is
authorized dealers may only publish the suggested list prices of the software.
Having said that, and with the competitive nature of the Internet, we will
aggressively price our software to compete with any legitimate quote.
Training.
Does your staff really need to be trained? For accounting systems with the
scope of Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200, we recommend to have your staff trained before using
these systems. Having your employees properly trained from the beginning will
undoubtedly save time and money in the long run. We discuss our own style of
training and consultation in the training section of our website.
We strongly believe our personalized approach is the most effective,
but we are sensitive to each client’s preferences. If it’s classroom training
you need, we can recommend an authorized Sage Training Center in your area.
If you so choose, we will even make the arrangements for you.
Technical Support.
It is inevitable that along the line you will have procedural questions or
technical issues regarding your software. You, as a prospective client, should
find a reseller who will be attentive to your needs and who will return your
support calls as quickly as possible. We have found this to be the major gripe
with clients who have signed on with us after using another reseller. We are
committed to answering all calls as they come in. If we are not able to take a
call immediately, we will return the call promptly.
So are all resellers the same? We don’t think so. Each one has a philosophy
and agenda. When selecting a reseller, you must consider what issues are important
to your company. In most service industries, the companies who are most successful
are the ones who realize the level of attention they deliver to their clients
is what sets them apart. The DataWest Group strives to offer the most complete
package of personalized service to our clients. We want them to count on us as a
resource from presales through installation and beyond. We want to be there when
they have questions or problems with their software. We think this commitment to our
clients is what sets us apart.
