| Source: Sage Software
HERNDON, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 1, 2006 -- Sage Software announced today that hundreds of
nonprofit, government, and school organizations have chosen its Sage FAS
Gov and Sage FAS Nonprofit solutions to more easily manage their fixed
assets. To date, more than 700 nonprofits and state/local government
agencies and municipalities count on Sage FAS products to track, inventory,
depreciate, and report on their various fixed assets, from buildings and
computer equipment, to automobiles and sprinkler systems. Beginning this
week, Sage Software will ship version 2006.1 of the product lines,
featuring various ease-of-use enhancements.
"Besides being user-friendly and easy to navigate, Sage FAS Gov helps us
more accurately track our fixed assets, and has improved our reporting
processes," said Lynne Koski, dean of administrative services for Norfolk,
Neb.-based Northeast Community College. "We previously used an in-house
software program to manage our nearly 10,000 active fixed assets."
Monica Gargus, controller for Boys and Girls Town of Missouri, a nationally
accredited organization providing extensive treatment through various
programs for troubled youth with a history of abuse, neglect, severe
behavior disorders and psychological problems, said, "Our accounting
software vendor does not offer a fixed asset management solution, so we
implemented Sage FAS Nonprofit to help us accurately track and report on
our 2,000 assets. The software is easy to use, plus Sage Software's
training classes are excellent."
Including solutions for asset accounting, asset inventory, and report
writing, the Sage FAS Gov and Sage FAS Nonprofit product lines integrate
with Sage Software's FAS CIP Accounting solution for organizations needing
to better control their capital budgets and streamline capital asset
accounting processes.
"We recently switched from a spreadsheet to Sage FAS Nonprofit to track our
fixed assets," said Harry Richards, director of operations for the Second
Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in
Washington, D.C. "Sage FAS Nonprofit allows us to save time by making it
easier to prepare our audit and other reports, and we receive timely
updates from Sage Software, so we can feel confident that we are in
compliance with the latest rules and regulations."
Barbara Kivlin, director of finance for Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, a
provider of civil legal aid to the low-income community in North & West
Texas for more than 50 years, said, "We recently purchased Sage FAS
Nonprofit to replace an Access database that currently serves as our fixed
asset management system. Since we use Sage Abra HRMS to manage our HR
processes, we already have experience with Sage Software. We expect Sage
FAS to save us time as it simplifies the process of tracking, transferring
and disposing of our 10,000 assets."
