Sage Software Launches Sage Timberline Office 9.3 To Provide
Improved User Flexibility And Easier, Streamlined Implementation
Beaverton , Ore. - June
15 , 2006 - Sage Software announced today the availability
of Sage Timberline Office 9.3, the newest version of its award-winning,
integrated financial and operations software for the construction
and real estate industries. Sage Timberline Office 9.3 includes
many new features to significantly reduce implementation time,
and provides enhancements that improve the efficiency of daily
operations for users.
"The increasingly competitive nature of the construction and
real estate industries means companies in these markets need
to move faster than ever, and automation is a key driver for
their growth," said John Geffel, Sage Software senior vice president
and general manager of the Construction and Real Estate business
unit. "With this in mind, we've taken a bottom up view of Sage
Timberline Office, designing version 9.3 for extremely fast set
up, and adding workflows throughout the system that greatly simplify
everyday usability."
Time-saving improvements in Sage Timberline Office 9.3 include:
- Fast implementation: Redesigned based on best practice ideas
from Sage Timberline Office customers, Sage Timberline Office
9.3 offers new setup tools designed to cut in half the typical
implementation time. Specifically, the new Setup Central feature
provides a series of set up wizards that walk the user through
all of the steps necessary to get up and running quickly.
- Faster access to key tasks: Workflow centers provide quick
access to tasks performed most often, such as check printing
and entering accounts payable invoices, in an intuitive workflow
layout easily accessible from the desktop.
- Quick access to help: Direct links from the main screen to
an online knowledge base eliminates the need to waste valuable
time digging through file menus for information.
- Simplified, smart job setup: a new Job Central wizard makes
it easy to set up contract-based jobs from a centralized location.
Users can start and stop work as necessary and Job Central
will remember where they left off.
