Sage MAS Intelligence is the Sage product that will replace FRx in MAS 90, MAS 200 and MAS 500. In the short term, customers will have the ability to use both FRx and Sage MAS Intelligence. While they have some of the same basic reporting features, there are many advantages of using Sage MAS Intelligence.

Sage MAS Intelligence empowers managers to quickly and easily obtain operations and strategic planning information from their Sage MAS system. Based on the familiar Microsoft Excel application, Sage MAS Intelligence effortlessly creates reports and analyzes data that is vital to growth and profitability. Managers can spend more time focusing on information analysis and interpretation and less time pulling the data together.

Sage will discontinue shipping FRx with new license sales by the end of 2010, and will no longer include FRx in the next release of Sage MAS 90 and 200 (4.5) and Sage MAS 500 (v7.4). Sage will continue support of FRx as part of previous Sage MAS releases.

New and current Sage MAS 90 and 200 customers will receive a single user Report Manager license for 4.4 as an on-plan benefit. New and current Sage MAS 500 customers will receive four single user Report Manager license for 7.3 as an on-plan benefit.
Additional promotional offers may also be made available for purchase of additional user licenses, and connector modules. Details will be provided soon.
