Macola & MAS 90/200 comparison

[ricmart]

We are a small fashion jewely distributor looking into implementing either a MAS 90/200 solution or Macola. Does anyone know of a website or literature that compares the two or can I get some thoughts on the advantages/disadvantees of both. I myself am knew to these type of applications. I hope this is not to general or vague a question, thank you.

Very broad question.

Give me your top 5 business issues as it relates to software, and I can compare the 2 for you. I am admittedly biased in that I am a Macola reseller, but I know both packages and can most likely help you. I can also put you incontact with some people who made the same decision, Macola vs Mas90, in the past year or so if you would like to talk to them.

Lots of info @ k2e.com & accountingsoftwareworld.com.

You need to do some internal work on requirements & needs analysis, though, in order to make a good decision. You'll probably need to spend some money to have someone help you w/this or purchase programs out there that do some analysis for you.

Thanks dgillz and macolahelp for the info. Dg, yes I would greatly appreciate the contact info, I think my bosses would be interested in talking to them. Can you post the info here or should I give you my email? By the way have any of you worked with an add-on product for macola called trakwear? Also macolhelp, what are the names of some of these programs out there to help us better define our requirements and needs analysis? Thanks again.

I'm most familiar w/Sheldon Needles Requirements Analyst. You need to develop a budget, too, as some solutions, while feature rich, may simply be out of a small company's price range. The more complex packages with lots of whistles and bells require an upfront expenditure in implementation and training. And classroom training just doesn't do the job unless you have experience implementing an integrated system such as macola or mas90.

Couldn't find it on the web just now, will get specifics for you on a later post.

Here are some google hits & I have heard several of these analysts present side by side comparisons of the products that compete in this market space:
findaccountingsoftware.com, 2020software.com, accountingsoftwarenews.com, accountinglibrary.com, knowledgestorm.com.
