IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 29, 2013) - Sage North America today announced the release of Sage 100 Contractor 2014, simplifying the fiscal year-end process for construction companies and their accountants.

"It's very smooth, supereasy to use and gives you plenty of warnings and instructions so you can't make a mistake."

The latest release also enables companies to generate and file certified payroll reports in 10 states using Sage 100 Contractor eFiling by Aatrix®, with more states to be added in future releases. Also included is a new Sage Advisor Update tool, allowing users to schedule, check for, download, notify other users of, and install software updates.
