68. Value Proposition
For Sage Enterprise business partners and customers, Sage ERP 1000 v4
is an integration solution that uses a standard Sage endorsed integration
protocol that allows business partners to easily integrate Sage ERP
and Sage CRM.
This means that Business Partners and customers can use a simple,
flexible and consistent approach reducing time to implement,
costs and is supported by Sage.
This also means our customers have complete visibility and
understanding of their customers and prospects throughout every
customer touch point of their organisation which will in turn help to focus
their organisation more effectively to target opportunities and
increase revenue generation through more effective lead/business
generation marketing activity
68
70. Sage ERP 1000 v4 delivers loosely coupled integration for Sage
CRM, through a combination of Synchronisation, Pricing Service
and customisation
• Sage ERP 1000 v4 is an ERP solution that can be used either as a standalone ERP system or
as part of a system with an ERP solution that integrates with Sage CRM.
• The integration for Sage ERP 1000 v4 is loosely coupled, meaning the ERP and CRM
application are installed and used separately. The integration allows key data items to be
maintained in either application but reflected in both, it also provides enhanced
functionality around key business processes.
• This is different from earlier versions of Sage 1000 (v2.2 and v2.3 releases) where a tight
coupling merged the functionality of the two applications into a single user interface. The
benefits of the loosely coupled approach are:
– The integrated products can be upgraded independently so you can take advantage of
product development independently.
– The integrated products can be licenced independently, users that only use Sage CRM
do not need a Sage ERP 1000 licence and vice versa
• Synchronised, accurate, up to date data, providing a 360 degree view of your business

asset data from the point of acquisition,
through depreciation to the asset’s current
state.

leading to lengthy data input processes and

entry).
• Lengthy administration processes when
entering new assets or when an asset has
reached maturity.
• Inability to arrange hierarchies between
assets.
• Lengthy auditing processes.
• Inefficient and inaccurate reporting ability.
• No ability to consolidate multiple registers.
• Monitoring and keeping disparate systems in

74
75. Sage Asset 1000 is already making a difference…
“Sage Asset 1000 has enabled us to prepare our asset records for our first external
IFRS audit. The highly customizable options have enabled us to add and track
valuable additional information on our assets.
The rollout and integration of Asset 1000 into the Sage ERP system was seamless
and painless. The user interface is easy to use and reduced our staff training time to
the minimum, with fantastic buy-in from the users. The reporting interface and
output alone was worth the upgrade to Asset 1000. “
