MISys Posts Record Sales in 2008. The management of MISys, Inc. is pleased to announce record sales in our previous fiscal year which closed on December 31, 2008. In his remarks to the shareholders, Dave Brown, President and CEO commented "In light of the tight economy, I think it is a testament to our terrific products and our incredibly hard-working staff that our revenue didn't just stay flat (which would have made me happy, considering the economic conditions) but it actually grew significantly compared to last year. By providing solutions which can help manufacturing companies worldwide operate more efficiently and more profitably, we are well-positioned to produce even better results this year and in the future, despite the global recession.
Sage Insights Pre-conference Training. The MISys Business Partner Support Team has been working hard to create a valuable pre-conference training workshop just prior to the Sage Insights Conference in May. Arrangements are being finalized with the Radisson Hotel at Opryland in Nashville for a 2-day workshop packed full of information about MISys SBM, our MS.Net-based manufacturing solution for Sage Accpac ERP and Sage Peachtree Accounting.The question the Radisson asked (but we aren't quite ready to answer) is "how big a room do you need?"
So please help us out. If you are a MISys Business Partner and you want to reserve a seat at the MISys Pre-conference Training Workshop on May 10 and 11, please email Scott Beavers, MISys Channel Manager, with the number of seats you would like to reserve. We need your response by the end of this week (January 30). No commitment or payment is required at this time -- we just need to give the hotel a reasonable estimate of our space requirements. Thanks for your cooperation!Purchase MISys SAE From Accpac. Business Partners are reminded that they can get Tier Credits by purchasing MISys SAE directly from Accpac. Contact your Accpac Regional Account Manager for details.

Dateline Woodstock:
Last week’s House and Garden TV special spotlighting Woodstock, Vermont as one of the best places in the United States to spend Christmas has brought a flood of tourists to our town. Even without the extra publicity, this is a very special time of year when visitors from neighboring states join the locals in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space on Main Street. They traditionally do this by driving up and down the street until they see a shopper emerge from one of our many gift shops and art galleries, then they follow them in much the same manner as did the Three Wise Men, who 2000+ years ago, followed a star until, finally, it led them to a parking space. The tourists follow emerging shoppers closely, hunching over the steering wheel, whistling “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas” until they arrive at their car which is often parked several time zones away from Woodstock Town Hall. Sometimes a shopper will try to indicate that they were just planning to drop off some packages and go back to shopping, but apparently New York and New Jersey drivers have developed a technique of revving their engines in a festive fashion which is reported to drive up to 58% of holiday shoppers back into their automobiles. We do not mean to suggest that the true meaning of the holiday season is finding a parking space. Woodstock resident Jim Dashbury says, for him the true meaning of the season is finding a sales clerk – and Jim has developed a fool-proof method that he demonstrated to us earlier today. Once inside a store, Jim looks for one of those doors marked “Employees Only” then bursts through it without warning. More often than not, Jim will scare up 8 or more clerks who will, of course, as soon as they see him, a shopper, bolt for the sales floor where they can be easily corralled towards a cash register. If you can’t make it to Woodstock during the holiday season, Jim suggests you try out his technique at your local K-Mart or Home Depot. Try it – it really works!

MISys SAE Technical Support. With the release of MISys Manufacturing for Sage Accpac ERP (MISys SAE) version 5.5, technical support is now available only to users of the current version – and one previous version, 5.4! If you are running an older version of MISys SAE, you should be asking yourself “And why in the world am I using this old version that doesn’t have all the improvements MISys has added since I bought it -- and for which technical support is no longer available?” Doesn’t make much sense, does it? Current upgrade options and costs are posted online. Check them out or call MISys Customer Service at 802/457-4600!
Christmas Holiday Upgrade Sale. You probably didn’t know that they use MISys SAE in the workshop up at the North Pole. Santa Claus just called to say that he looked at our upgrade options and costs online and thought it would be a Really Nice Gift to existing MISys users if we slashed the upgrade costs 50% from what is posted there. Keeping Santa and our customers happy is a Big Deal here at MISys World Headquarters, so here’s our spectacular holiday offer:
Purchase the upgrade to MISys SAE version 5.5 and renew your Upgrade Subscription Plan at the normal price, and get 50% off the published upgrade price.
This offer ends at the end of our business day on December 31, 2008, so don’t delay. Get in touch with your MISys Business Partner today to order your upgrade to version 5.5, or contact MISys Customer Service at 802/457-4600.
Simply Manufacturing. Can you believe it? In Canada, Sage owns a huge portion of the mid- to low-end accounting market with its Simply Accounting product. Despite aggressive marketing from “other popular bookkeeping systems” Simply Accounting continues to gain market share year after year. At a recent Simply partner conference in Vancouver, Sage announced that they are bringing Simply to the US market early next year. Unfortunately, relatively few manufacturers use Simply Accounting, preferring other products that have more manufacturing-specific functionality. BUT WAIT! That’s set to change now that MISys Small Business Manufacturing integrates seamlessly with Simply – turning Simply Accounting into an industrial-strength manufacturing system. Judging from the phone calls we're receiving in these uncertain economic times, manufacturers are paying more attention “value-oriented” products such as Simply. If you want to learn more about the Simply manufacturing solution, visit the MISys web site at www.misysinc.com/simply. It's all laid out for you there.

MISys SAE 5.5 Released. The much anticipated MISys Manufacturing for Sage Accpac ERP (aka MISys SAE) version 5.5 was released to all Business Partners and Upgrade Subscription Plan holders last week. If you have a current Upgrade Subscription Plan, you can claim your FREE upgrade to MISys SAE version 5.5 by visiting the MISys website. By filling out and submitting the upgrade request form there, you can speed the process of downloading and installing the new software. A list of the new features in MISys SAE version 5.5 is also posted there – make sure you check it out! If you are running and older version of MISys SAE, you can still benefit from upgrading right away. Since the release of your software, many existing features have been improved and new features added. Check the MISys web site for your upgrade options and costs. Then consult with your MISys Business Partner to set up a plan for getting your entire MISys/Accpac system up to date.
New MISys SAE Stock Movement Function. Over the years, one of the most often requested features for MISys SAE has been the ability to track changes in inventory over some designated period in time. We are pleased to announce that a new function in MISys SAE version 5.5 allows you to take a “snap-shot” of your inventory – manually at any time you choose, or automatically whenever you perform a fiscal period end. Multiple snap-shots (taken manually or automatically) form the basis for an informative Stock Movement Report.
Peachtree Manufacturing. In the United States, Peachtree Accounting enjoys a great reputation as an industrial-strength accounting system with all the core accounting modules a small- to mid-sized business could need -- unless you were involved in manufacturing. Until now, core functionality required in a manufacturing environment has been largely missing from the standard Peachtree product. MISys Small Business Manufacturing version 3.0 now offers seamless integration with Peachtree Accounting, turning Peachtree into an industrial-strength manufacturing system. You can learn all about the MISys manufacturing solution for Peachtree by visiting the MISys website and requesting the demonstration video.
MISys SBM Labor Tracker. Ever since the release of MISys SAE v5.5 and MISys SBM 3.0 earlier this Fall, the MISys engineers have been working diligently on a new add-on for MISys SBM designed to capture actual labor hours and post them to selected Jobs and Manufacturing Orders. When released, Labor Tracker will be available as an extra-cost ($500) option for MISys SBM 3.0. Labor Tracker can be installed on any PC (or multiple PCs) where actual labor capture is required. Labor Tracker communicates directly with the MISys SBM Server module and does not require that the MISys SBM Client module be installed on that same computer. MISys SBM users should watch their InfoCenter starting early next month (yikes, that just a couple of weeks away!) for instructions on how to order Labor Tracker.
MISys Holiday Schedule. Please note that the MISys offices (including Sales, Customer Service, and Technical Support) will be closed on Thursday, November 27, in observance of Thanksgiving Day. We will also be closed on Friday, November 28, in observance of Turkey Sandwich Day. We will look forward to serving you again on Monday, December 1, fed and well-rested.

Does MISys SBM Outshine MISys SAE? Since announcing the integration of MISys SBM with Sage Accpac ERP last summer, we’ve received a flood of inquiries asking if MISys SBM is “better” than our flagship product MISys for Sage Accpac ERP (MISys SAE).
First, let us be clear, for about 20% of our users, MISys SBM is definitely not better, mainly because the shop floor control functions of MISys SAE Level 3 don’t exist in MISys SBM.
On the other hand, the MISys SBM database has been optimized to perform extremely fast MPS/MRP calculations, so a job that took hours in MISys SAE is accomplished in just minutes in MISys SBM. That’s a huge benefit!
Furthermore, MISys SBM displays its purchasing, production, and master schedules in easy-to-understand and manipulate Gantt charts which just can’t be produced in MISys SAE.
Finally, MISys SBM can be a less expensive solution because it does not require multiple (and relatively expensive) Accpac LanPaks for multi-user operation. Instead, MISys SBM uses just one LanPak to gain access to critical information in the Accpac ERP database.
Sleeter Accounting Software Consulting Conference. On November 10th the MISys Guys are headed off to Phoenix to attend the 5th annual Accounting Software Consulting Conference hosted by The Sleeter Group.
Sleeter is best known for its training and consulting for QuickBooks, but this year representatives from Microsoft and Sage Software have been admitted to this popular conference.
Since MISys SBM integrates with all these products (actually, 3 different Sage products!) this is an incredible opportunity to meet with consultants who are building their practices by recommending right-sized business management solutions for their clients.
