Unison Solutions Implements Sage ERP MAS 200 to Power Operations and Maximize Profit

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 13, 2011) - Sage North America announced today that Unison Solutions, a leader in biogas conditioning and distributed generation, has implemented Sage ERP MAS 200 as its primary business management solution. Thanks to the breadth of functionality of Sage ERP MAS 200 integrated with SageCRM and JobOps, Unison Solutions can now efficiently manage multiple areas of their business from one software system, while maintaining growth and profitability. Sage ERP MAS 200 is a modular ERP system that offers a broad selection of feature-rich solutions including core accounting and finance, business intelligence, CRM, HR and payroll, and manufacturing -- with a low total cost of ownership.

Founded in 2000, Unison Solutions, Inc. has grown to be an industry leader in providing infrastructure for municipalities, landfills and food processors to economically turn biogas -- a byproduct of their businesses -- into a biogas-based fuel to power compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. Oil price increases and projected renewable energy industry growth led the Iowa-based company to purchase Sage ERP MAS 200 to manage its operations, ensure it meets customer and market demands, and maximize profits.

Unison relies on the core functionality of Sage ERP MAS 200 and SageCRM as well as the fully integrated JobOps solution, which provides job quoting, estimating, and tracking functions. The applications have proven to have strong functionality in areas of most concern for the company's future growth and profitability.

"Sage ERP MAS 200 has become essential in keeping track of all components needed to manufacture our products and ensure smooth operations," said Jan Scott, president of Unison Solutions. "Given that Unison works with numerous highly specialized customers, an effective enterprise resource planning tool is integral to our success.
