Sage 300 is the name for the mid-market line of enterprise management and accounting applications (formerly Sage ACCPAC), primarily serving small and medium-sized businesses. Since 2004, Sage 300 is developed by Sage. [3] In 2012, Sage renamed ACCPAC to Sage 300. [4]
Sage 300 is a Windows based range of ERP software, running on Microsoft SQL. This can run under a Windows environment [5] and has an option of being hosted by Sage. Sage 300 is a modular system with the following core suite of modules. The full list of modules developed in the Sage 300 API is also available.
It is multi-user, multi-currency, and multi-language. It is available in six languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).
The original product, EasyBusiness Systems, was developed for the CP/M operating system [8] in 1976 by Don Thompson, Ted Comfoltey, Keith Wales, and Norm Francis of Basic Software Group [9] and distributed by Information Unlimited Software. This was ported to MS-DOS and the IBM-PC in 1983. [9] [10]
Computer Associates acquired Information Unlimited Software in 1983 [11] [12] [13] and ran it as an independent business unit. [14] [15] Easy Business Systems added payroll processing in 1984 and supported multiuser networking at this time. [16] In 1987, it implemented a multi-window interface to allow moving between different modules. [14] Easy Business Systems was renamed Accpac Plus in 1987 with the release of version 5. [17] Accpac became popular in Canada with support of Canadian public accounting firms that would sell and support the software. [15] The name Accpac is an acronym for 'A Complete and Comprehensive Program for Accounting Control'. [18]
The first Windows version, CA-Accpac/2000, popularly known as ACCPAC for Windows, was developed in the early 1990s and released in October 1994. [19] [20] The Windows version marked the move to client/server and was developed with all new code in COBOL with Computer Associates development tools (these components were redeveloped in 2001 in Accpac Advantage Series with a core business layer developed in C and a user interface layer developed in Visual Basic). [21] [22]
In October 1996 ACCPAC for Windows 2.0 was released. [23] In August 2001, the company presented ACCPAC Advantage Series 5.0, its first web-based version. [24] The web interface was rebuilt in Sage 300 2016 for cross browser support, running on IIS with ASP.Net, [25] a web API was added in the 2017. [26] [27]
Sage 300 initially ran on Btrieve Databases [28] and then supported a variety of database backends. [29] Since Sage 300 2016 only the MS SQL database is supported. [28]
Sage Software acquired Accpac from Computer Associates in 2004. [30] Sage renamed it Sage Accpac ERP in 2006, [31] then Sage ERP Accpac in 2009. Sage dropped the Accpac name in 2012 when it was renamed to Sage 300 ERP. [32]
Sage 300 is no longer available for purchase in the UK, but is still available in other markets around the world. [33]
