Sage Software, a leading provider of business information management solutions, has known for several years that implementation of our Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200, or Sage MAS 500 ERP software systems results in significant enhancements in productivity, efficiency and streamlined business processes. The net benefits of the deployment and use of these products in manufacturing businesses has been documented in numerous case studies (www.sagemas.com), which illustrate both increased revenues and cost reductions, or even cost eliminations. These benefits significantly over-shadow the investment in the software solution itself and are typically realized in the first year of deployment. Manufacturing - Realizing Enterprise ROI through Sage MAS 90, 200, and 500, Sage Software engaged the Gantry Group to conduct an objective ROI study to quantify the net business impact of Sage MAS 90, 200, or 500 solutions. Gantry Group has developed definitive ROI tools that address the unique business benefits of software to manufacturers. This white paper explores experiences of Sage MAS 90, 200, and 500 manufacturing customers.
