Microsoft Dynamics NAV Vs Sage MAS
Technology Platform
Being designed to be interoperable with the Microsoft SQL Server® relational
database platform, Microsoft Dynamics NAV is able to take advantage of the
robust data management, query, reporting, analysis and integration tools
which SQL Server offers.
Ask whether Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 support Microsoft SQL Server, and what
the roadmap is for MAS 90/200 on Microsoft SQL Server.
The SQL Server technology platform enables rapid processing of large data
volumes, real-time integration with other applications, and strong
scalability in terms of users, data, and processes.
Reporting / Access to Information
Microsoft Dynamics NAV includes rich query tools (field filters, table
filters, flow filters) for quickly producing snapshots of real-time data.
Information can be drilled into in a 360 degree fashion from virtually
anywhere in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
Accuracy / Relevancy of Reported Data
Information entered into Microsoft Dynamics NAV is accurate, relevant, and
current as soon as a data entry field is accepted and exited and so you can
be assured that information is in real time. Ask how transactional data is
updated in Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 – is it real-time, or batch driven?
Microsoft Dynamics NAV data is kept in detail and immediately available.
Data can be queried with any date parameters, whether they cross traditional
accounting reporting periods or not. Ask Sage what happens to the detailed
financial data in MAS 90/200 once a period is closed. Can MAS 90 or MAS 200
produce reports for a range that spans multiple periods?
