Economical downturn, global competition, increasing labor rates, rising prices & demand uncertainty has had an effect on bottom line and made business management increasingly difficult. Companies must emphasize on cost control to increase profits & cut expenses in order to stay competitive and succeed. Implementing a cost reduction control plan can be very difficult without the ability to determine what aspects of your business are cutting into your bottom line.

A company should review the following areas to cut expenses: leases, rent, utilities, maintenance cost, materials, marketing & sales efforts, percentages & ratios etc…

The proper reporting tools & reports can have a major impact on drilling down into unnecessary expenses, flunctuating sales, inventor turnover, item detail, regional changes
etc. with the right tools in place management will have access to the information captured and be able to make cost effective decisions and implement cost control processes when necessary.]]>chris@walpolecpa.comNone2010-02-10T16:10:23-08:00http://www.walpoleits.com/walpoleblog_files/SAGE%20MAS%20Road%20Ahead.html#unique-entry-id-4http://www.walpoleits.com/walpoleblog_files/SAGE%20MAS%20Road%20Ahead.html#unique-entry-id-4

FRx to be Cut Short!
Expect FRx support to come to a stop in 2010. Sage has not announced a decision for a replacement product and did not mention working with any developers. However, we did visit the Biznet BizExelarator booth and it seemed to be a leading candidate for replacement.
