Sage Software Launches MyAssistant for Sage Timberline Office

BEAVERTON, OR -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Dec 12, 2006 -- Sage Software announced today the availability of MyAssistant, a new software program that integrates with Sage Timberline Office to create a "virtual assistant," providing reminders and prompts for important business events.

The program is the first value-add solution for Sage Timberline Office clients offered by Sage Software Premier Solutions Partner Innovative Software Design, a Lake Oswego, Ore.-based company founded by former Sage Software employees with more than 30 years of construction and real estate-specific technology development experience. Premier Solutions Partners develop technology solutions that integrate with Sage Software Construction and Real Estate products, including Sage Timberline Office and Sage Master Builder, to help address customers' unique business needs.

Priced from $1,500, MyAssistant for Sage Timberline Office helps business and operations managers quickly identify the information of greatest relevance to their jobs. With more than 200 pre-built scenarios and the option to create more, the highly customizable program provides daily updates and alerts to such things as change orders and cost overruns, as well as reports that help executives mine the enormous amount of data that hits them every day, according to Innovative Software Design Inc. President Dennis Earnshaw.

"Innovative Software Design brings cutting edge technology to our clients," said John Geffel, Sage Software senior vice president and general manager, Construction and Real Estate Solutions.

"Construction and real estate executives told us they are bombarded with information and data daily. We knew there had to be an efficient way to help them sort it out and stay focused on what they do best. This product does that," Geffel said. "MyAssistant is another example of how Sage Software consistently delivers new solutions to keep our clients competitive."

"MyAssistant is definitely our company's 'best new employee,' it never requests a vacation or raise, never makes mistakes and gives me almost instant visibility to important business-critical issues that I can't afford to ignore," said Jim Lamar, controller with American Homes, a construction company based in North Port, Florida. "MyAssistant has proven to be an exceptional value given its capability to both assess and evaluate our business rules relative to our use of Sage Timberline Office, as well as providing an early warning to potential profitability issues with each of our new homes being built."

MyAssistant for Sage Timberline Office is available now at a suggested retail price of $1,500. Premier Solutions Partner products can be purchased through any qualified Sage Software Construction and Real Estate business partner. For more information call: 800-858-7095.
