Effective April 2nd, 2012 you will now be able to pay for your Sage ERP software as a subscription. This means that you will be able to receive all of the benefits of an advanced ERP system without the initial high entry cost, which often deters companies from making the investment.

Sage is now setting the starting price at $1,495 for the Sage 100 ERP suite (formerly known as Sage MAS 90 and 200), $1,695 for Sage 300 (formerly Sage Accpac) and $2,595 for Sage 500 (formerly Sage MAS 500).

Joe Langner, VP of Mid market and CRM solutions said the new subscription pricing will help "transform Sage from being a software product company… to being a solutions provider for the midmarket customer."

Under the subscription plan customers will pay $110 per user/per month for the Sage 100 ERP suite, $130 per user/per month for Sage 300 and $160 per user/per month for Sage 500. Sage CRM can be added to each for $35 per user/per month.

Subscribers will have full access to the same premium product functionality that customers get with the traditional perpetual license, Langner said, as well as the Sage Business Care Gold Plan support. The subscription also includes access to ERP financial and operational reporting tools and the Sage Fixed Assetsapplication.

The subscription is being offered with no minimum term requirements and the right to cancel a subscription with 120 days notice. Sage will continue to offer the traditional perpetual license option for the applications.
