We understand that in the manufacturing industry no two days are ever the same and keeping up with the latest products, updates and features can be difficult. It is important therefore that you are using the right business management software; one that can grow with your organisation, adapt to changing demands and help you control costs.
If you currently use Sage 50 Manufacturing or Sage 200 Manufacturing, you may be aware that Sage have been working with independent software vendors who specialise in industry-specific solutions and, after an in-depth and extensive development phase, Cim have created two new products – Cim50 and Cim200.
Although these solutions offer exciting new features and enhancements, it does mean that both Sage 50 Manufacturing and Sage 200 Manufacturing will no longer be developed and so now may be the right time to invest in a system that is more future proof.
We know that the idea of migrating to a whole new system may have left you with a feeling of dread though and that is why we’re here to help. In this article, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about Cim50 and Cim200 and, explain how we can help you migrate and ensure that your business gets the most out of these cutting-edge manufacturing solutions.
