Business technology consulting firm The Rand Group has announced that it's adding "a range of" Sage products for small and mid-size businesses, including ERP, human resource management, fixed assets and CRM solutions, to its portfolio. 

The Rand Group will be offering its clients the full Sage MAS ERP line, as well as Sage Abra HRMS, Sage FAS, and Sage SalesLogix lines. Company officials add that Rand will open new offices in Dallas to serve businesses in the region. 

Ron Rand, CEO of the Rand Group, said partnering with Sage adds a "range of products to our portfolio of services.” 

The Rand Group serves customers in Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago and Austin and is involved with community charitable work in support of March of Dimes, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and Houston Public Radio. It serves industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, distribution, construction, property management and technology as well.

In July TMC reported that Minneapolis-based SPS Commerce was putting more eggs in the SaaS (News - Alert) basket, as the SaaS "trading partner integration center provider" said more than 1,000 companies using Sage MAS 90, Sage MAS 200, and Sage MAS 500 ERP subscribed to its outsourced supply chain integration services, resulting in "more than a million business documents electronically in the past 12 months."

SPS Commerce's Electronic Data Interchange and label services can be integrated with MAS 90, MAS 200, and MAS 500 systems to eliminate pesky manual order entry and fulfillment processes. The idea, of course, being to "improve accuracy, boost customer satisfaction, and provide timely communication of purchase orders" and other groovy things up and down the supply chain.

Earlier this year TMC (News - Alert) reported that Sage North America announced the general availability of Sage MAS 90 and 200 Extended Enterprise Suite version 1.2, their business management suite designed for SMBs.

The release expands the Customer Relationship Management and fixed asset management capabilities on offer, according to the Sage officials.

Company officials said the product has what they describe as "a unique combination of Enterprise Resource Planning, CRM, fixed asset management and business intelligence functionality," including the embedded business intelligence applications Business Insights Explorer and Business Insights Dashboard.
