Where can I find a summary comparison of features/limitations between the Depreciation editions: Premier, Network, Single User, Lite?

SOLVED

I have searched Sage and the web, but cannot find a current comparison list to help clients decide which is best suited.

    Hello IanM,

    I had to look around a bit and I could not find anything either. I even got someone in Sales to check and they had no luck on finding anything like a public resources, so here it goes, in reverse order:

    • Lite Depreciation is a limited Single user product which is installed and maintains the database on the local hard drive: Hard coded to a limit of 1,000 per company, you can dispose of assets. Customizable User-Defined Fields, Short Years, and ERP Integration

    • Depreciation Single User and Network runs using a Sybase SQL engine:

      Single User: installed and maintains the database on the local hard drive.
      Network: The Network Service is installed on a server where the database is maintained, allows multiple users and clients

      Shared additional features:

      • The ability to perform transfers and partial transactions, and to do Bulk Transactions

      • Copy Company Set-up, Merge Companies, Store Asset Images, Attach PDF files.

      • Compliance Monitoring (Audit Advisor), U.S. Tax Rules with IRS Regulations and Forms, Comprehensive Depreciation, Replacement Value, MACRS Convention Switch, Canadian Regulations and T2S8 Capital Cost Allowance, GASB 34/35 Compliance, Utility Reports for SOX Compliance

      • Additional modules of Tracking, Planning and Reporting can be added to the license.

      • No hard coded limit but we generally do not recommend going over 10,000 asset per database due to performance issue which start at that number of assets.

    • Premier Depreciation runs user a Microsoft SQL server (not included).

      Additional features: Includes Reporting as a part of the license, The Global Task Manager (Run Depreciation\Report Across Multiple Companies in a single batch), and Alternative Accounting Period Support (13 period, 5-4-4, 4-5-4, 4-4-5)

    Thanks, Delray, and I'm glad it wasn't just me being blind!
    This is a convenient reference to have when clients want to know the differences between the platforms and the additional benefits they are paying for.
