[. . . ] Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite Mine Managment Sage Accpac Extended Enterprise Suite, which includes Sage Accpac ERP and SageCRM, bridges the gap between financial information and production information in the mining industry with a configurable set of workflow and business intelligence tools that provide valuable information anytime, anywhere. Sage Accpac ERP for Mining--A Rock-Solid ERP Sage Accpac includes a wide range of modules to handle the entire mining cycle, from development to exploration to production and sales.

This saves time and eliminates the need for reallocations at month end. Production and Exploration Data The production data capture module allows users to set up an area or operation against which costs can be tracked, such as shafts, open pits, or tailings. Beneath this layer of costs lies a lower level of processing such as shaft sinking, development waste or stopping (depending on the environment), which is linked back to the top level. Typically, the plant area tracks the processing of material from all areas and links it to a subcomponent of the general ledger account for reporting purposes only. The module allows users to specify units of measure for the production data captured, such as meters advanced, tons surveyed, tons hoisted and treated, and carats recovered. This is captured as needed--daily, weekly, or monthly--and linked to the business intelligence suite.

Information from the mobile devices is integrated throughout the mining suite to give management increased visibility and operational control. Asset Management and Maintenance Sage Accpac appreciates the need for capital budgeting and end-to-end asset management.
