Sage’s MAS 90 & MAS 200 FRX Replacement is From Alchemex: To Be Branded Business Insights Intelligence

Alchemex was kind enough to give us an hour long demonstration of their Business Intelligence product. Sage expects to begin shipping this, rebranded as Business Insights Intelligence (Update: The branding has changed slightly since our demonstration and the product is now being called Sage MAS Insights), by the end of 2010 to all users active on a Basic Software Maintenance agreement.

So far, here are some of the newsworthy items to arise from the demonstration last week:

• User licenses will be named – not concurrent.
• BII is Excel 2007 based (BII is compatible with all versions of Excel, but the new Financial wizard/designer requires Excel 2007)

• Each organization active on Basic Maintenance will receive one user license.
• There was no mention of utilities to convert FRX statements and our guess is that there won’t be one.
• Multi-company consolidations will require a separate purchase of a connector – pricing TBD.
• Data can be read from all modules and all fields – not just the GL as FRX was only able to do.
• BII will initially be available at MAS 90 level 4.4 only. Sage is looking at v4.3 support. We do not think the supported versions will go any earlier than 4.3.
