ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - October 16, 2007) - Adding additional support for members of the
Sage Software Accountants' Network, Sage Software announced today that it
is offering a 40% discount on selected Sage Software University classes for
Accountants' Network members in the U.S., including instructor-led online
courses that qualify for NASBA CPE Credit. The timing of this announcement
coincides with The K2 Accounting Software Symposium, for which Sage
Software is a platinum sponsor, today at the Georgia Society of CPAs
Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
"Our SSAN members are our best advocates. They have spoken, and we
listened," said Heather Scarpero, director, Sage Software Accountants'
Network. "One of the greatest challenges as a practicing CPA is keeping up
with continuing education requirements; with the training discounts now
available to our Accountants' Network members, we're making it much more
convenient and less expensive for them to stay current and learn more about
our products so that they can be well-informed when talking with their
clients."
Sage Software University offers a range of courses in Realtime and Anytime
formats. Realtime classes, which qualify for CPE credit, are
instructor-led online courses that are scheduled at a designated date and
time. Anytime Learning courses are pre-recorded training sessions accessed
online, 24/7, and are not eligible for CPE credit. Courses are available
on a range of Sage Software products, including Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200,
Sage MAS 500 ERP, Sage BusinessWorks Accounting and Sage PFW ERP; courses
for other products will be coming soon.
Small and mid-sized organizations often rely on their accountants for
insight and suggestions on how to more effectively manage their businesses
through technology, and the addition of these discounted technology
training opportunities is just the newest benefit available to Sage
Accountants' Network members.
The Accountants' Network offers resources to increase technical competency
and help grow an accountant's practice by providing informative
communications and resources, product discounts and membership benefits
related to the Sage Software family of products. Through the Accountants'
Network, accounting professionals also have access to Sage Software
products that include accounting and business management software, support
services and automatically delivered upgrades and updates, including tax
tables when applicable. In addition to software, members receive a
complimentary listing in the Accountants' Network member locator.
