For the last few months, Sander and I have been hard at work designing and developing an integration package to link the two popular packages; Sage SalesLogix and Sage 200. The product will be called "Link200".

As the project has progressed, the feature list has grown and grown (much to Sander's annoyance!). The result however is one that is certain to answer the needs of many existing and future clients of DMC. We can't wait to get our teeth into the next version, the beauty of this project is that we have full control over how the product works as well as the features we can add as the product matures.

We are currently working on final alpha testing and have already selected a number of beta candidates. Training aids and implementation documentation are now underway.

Features of the first version include:

• Promote SalesLogix Accounts to Sage 200
• Promote SalesLogix Suppliers to Sage 200
• Link to Existing Sage 200 Customers / Suppliers
• View Sage 200 Account Balance / Credit Limit / Available Spend in SalesLogix
• View Sage 200 Sales Orders and Quotations in SalesLogix
• View Sage 200 Purchase Orders in SalesLogix
• View Sage 200 Sales Ledger Transactions in SalesLogix
• Link to Multiple Sage 200 Companies

• Create an Opportunity in SalesLogix using Sage 200 and/or SalesLogix Products
• Optionally view Stock Levels in SalesLogix when creating an Opportunity or Sales Order
• Promote Sales Orders to Sage 200
