Hi Dec,

As far as I know, the pricing varies on the Sage 200 and 1000 products as they have to be supplied and installed via an authorised Sage reseller. It also depends on which modules the client needs and the number of users.

You would probably be best to contact a Sage reseller to give you a price.

Thanks,

That makes a lot of sense then.

Would be useful if they gave you a ball park without wanting to do a full assessment and quote.

When customers asks "What about ERP1000" is would be great as the IT guy to have an idea of costs.

Having seen a client's quotation recently for an upgrade from Sage 50 to 200, I can defiantly say it's not a trivial investment

Sage 500 and 1000 are modular - you licence each module. modules may be bundled together, or sold separately - so a bundle of common Modules might cost you £30K while a specific big extra module might cost you £10K. The modules will need to be configured to your business by a Sage partner at great cost. It gets complicated and expensive, ERP1000 is a big boy's toy and you will be looking at tens of thousands, maybe well over a hundred thousand to have Sage 1000 up and running, depending on your circumstances.

In addition to the software, users are licensed. When you pay your annual support and maintenance to the Sage reseller there will be a big chunk for him to support you, and a big chunk for Sage to provide updates & maintenance. I used to pay about £40K per annum in annual support & maintenance.

So the answer is how long is a piece of string. If you think in terms of say £4K - £5K per user to have a system up and running (without consultancy, hardware or database) you'll probably get a scale of things, and then c. 20%-ish of that for annual licensing. Could be lots more depending on your requirements.

The only way of being more precise is to ask the Sage partner, which will be a painful process because they'll need a lot of info to determine which modules you need etc., hence nobody will give a ballpark.

I assume that it is far from being a small business if you're looking at Sage 1000. I used to have Sage 500 (basically 1000 without the CRM), installed it in 1997 and it's still running - it is a complex and very long-term decision. Don't be surprised if it looks like a quarter-million pound project.

SteveBurrows has given you a good, pretty comprehensive, answer here the summation of which is the "price per seat"; however as has already been said, you cannot hang your hat on this because of the number of variables.

I get involved in a lot of ERP implementations, happy to talk through requirements and options (including funding sources)

Ok ive been involved in 2 large scale sage 1000 implementions. First off you are probably looking at a software cost of at least 100k, the first one I did was 360k and the second was 220k. Then when you add training, customisation, support you are taling big numbers. The last one was 18 months project so from the 220k base price came in at close to £1 mill.

It certainly is a big boys toy, having been involved in the Tetra/Sage products for about 30 years now I've done more implementations of Line 500 than I care to remember, it's certainly going to be expensive but it's a great product if you set it up correctly, the new Sage 1000 is a lot better than the Line 500 product, it's a major update but it still uses the exact same table structures as the last release of Line 500 (vers 7.1).

Feel free to pm me if you need any usefull info.
