This box contains a brand-new, shrink-wrapped vintage copy of MAS 90 For Windows.Software BackgroundWhat it stands for: "Master Accounting Series for the 90s".
Original Developer: It was originally created by State of the Art, Inc. (SOTA) in the mid-1980s as a high-end personal computer accounting suite.
Evolution: State of the Art, Inc. was acquired by the UK-based company Sage in 1998.
The software line was rebranded in 2012 as Sage 100 and eventually became the modern cloud-connected enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform known as Sage 100cloud.
Historical Significance: It became one of the dominant accounting frameworks for small to mid-sized businesses during the 1990s and early 2000s primarily because CPAs used it heavily in their own firms and recommended it directly to clients.
