If you haven't been to one of the MISys training webcasts then you probably don't know about all the features and functions of MISys. When our customers take a training webcast the first thing they usually say is, "Wow I didn't know MISys did that". Don't miss out.

MISys SBM works with Accpac ERP
I know we have mentioned this before but there are many Accpac ERP users that still don't know that MISys Small Business Manufacturing (SBM) now works with Accpac. Same great integration as MISys SAE. Check it out on this web site: www.misysinc.com

MISys SBE Officially Retired
The Small Business Edition of MISys Manufacturing for Sage Accpac ERP (MISys SAE) is no longer available. Resellers and end-users looking for a cost-effective manufacturing control system that integrates with Sage Accpac ERP should look instead at MISys Small Business Manufacturing. Although MISys SBM does not install inside the Accpac System Manager as did its predecessor, the new software actually has more functionality than Small Business Edition and requires only one Sage Accpac LanPak for multi-user operation, making MISys SBM a much more affordable solution. Users of MISys SAE can crossgrade very inexpensively to MISys SBM and have their data converted automatically. Click here to read the complete press release.

Quantum Manufacturing Edition Orientation
Last week we completed -- with a huge turn-out -- the second of two online workshops designed to introduce sellers of Peachtree Quantum accounting software to the wonderful world of manufacturing.
In the first session, we surveyed the market of small- to medium-sized manufacturing firms, discussing their needs and how Peachtree Quantum (with the addition of MISys SBM) now offers industrial-strength functionality.
In the second session, we explored the features of MISys SBM that are included in the core Quantum Manufacturing Edition: multiple locations, raw material and WIP inventory control, multi-level bills of material, revision control, stock check, stock transfers, work order processing, physical inventory, and period end processing.
In a third, so-far unscheduled, session we might have a look at the modules that can be added on to QME to meet the needs of manufacturing firms who demand more advanced features.
If you are a Peachtree partner and think you would benefit from a session on the advanced and extra-cost modules available for QME, please contact MISys Customer Service at 802/457-4600 or email customerservice@misysinc.com.

MISys SBM Training Abounds
Now that Spring has come Vermont, MISys University is busting out all over with new online training workshops on various aspects of MISys Small Business Manufacturing. Start with the special 2-day workshop on MISys SBM Basic Operations, then move on to more advanced topics such as Advanced Purchasing, Advanced Production, Material Requirements Planning, and even Serial/Lot Tracking. For those of you with a special interest in accounting, don't miss the Accounting Tutorial slated for June 23.
Except for Basic Operations which repeats every month, these workshops are scheduled on a demand-driven basis. If the workshop you wish to attend is not currently scheduled, be sure to click the "Add To Wait List" button and add your name to our waitlist. There's no obligation. When a sufficient number of people have been waitlisted for a workshop, they will be contacted by MISys Customer Service to see if they are still interested.
Can you think of an SBM topic not covered at MISys University? MISys Customer Service is always happy to receive your suggestions.

Dateline Woodstock
Jim Clifford, the fellow who sells advertising for the Woodstock Standard, our weekly newspaper, stopped by MISys World Headquarters the other day -- just checking in, as he said. But based on the litany of questions that followed, we rather suspect that Jim was setting us up for a full page color spread. That visit reminded us that, in what seems like a previous life, we advertised our software in numerous magazines ranging from PC World to Manufacturing Today. In this online age, those magazines have either disappeared entirely or been reduced to a front and back cover and a handful of pages. According to a recent study sponsored cooperatively by The Gartner Group and the Vermont Maple Syrup Producers Association, there are now a total of 13 Vermonters who promote their commercial interests on various "social networks." Until recently, most of the social networking that happened around Woodstock took place down at the Squat and Gobble (our local diner). Now a few of us have been experimenting with LinkedIn and Facebook and Twitter. Most of us have pretty much given up on LinkedIn because it seems to focus on keeping in touch with people in your past. We don't know about you, but a great many Vermonters are here to be freed of the people in their past. So LinkedIn is a non-starter. Facebook seems to be aimed at kids who find tales of college-aged debauchery and explicit hip-hop lyrics to be compelling content. The jury is still out on Twitter, but since Tweets are limited to 140 characters, the concept seems to be more consistent with what Vermonters call "the simple life." Don't look at other people's Tweets for examples of good content -- even the Twitter sites of companies we work with and admire most: Sage, Intuit, and Microsoft. If you believe the emails that arrive daily, there is a webinar you can attend (for a small fee, no doubt) that will reveal the magic in using Twitter as a means for promoting your goods and services. Right now, it seems like Twitter is the playground for people with excess time on their hands -- posting messages about things that, in the pre-Twitter era, used to pass un-noticed. Perhaps we'll wake up to the true value of social networking one of these days. In the meantime, suffice it to say "MISys is on Twitter."
