Oct. 19, 2009 (Business Wire) -- RedTail Solutions, which delivers managed service solutions for electronic data interchange (EDI) and global data synchronization (GDS) to mid-market suppliers and manufacturers, today announced that it has passed stringent product certification requirements for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 enterprise resource planning (ERP) business management solutions.

As a Sage Gold Development Partner, the RedTail EDI managed service solution has undergone rigorous certification testing by VeriTest®, a service of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX). As a result, RedTail has met Sage’s high standards for quality, design architecture, functionality, integration, documentation, and installation for the current version of Sage’s MAS 90 and MAS 200 ERP. RedTail EDI’s tight integration with Sage ERP systems enables customers to cut costs, improve efficiency, eliminate errors, and accelerate the order-to-cash cycle.

A Managed Services Approach

RedTail’s managed EDI and GDS services solution optimizes the order-to-cash cycle – processing complex EDI transactions, including sales and purchase orders, advanced ship notices (ASNs) and invoices. The company’s solution is ideal for mid-sized manufacturers and distributors selling to large trading partners like Wal-Mart and The Home Depot, making it possible for companies processing large volumes of EDI transactions to experience high levels of automation and integration.

Integration with Additional Sage ERP Solutions

In addition to Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 ERP, RedTail EDI is also integrated with Sage MAS 500 ERP, Sage BusinessVision, Sage Pro ERP and Sage Accpac ERP. Key to RedTail’s success is the solution’s seamless integration with many of today’s most popular mid-market business accounting and ERP solutions.

According to Bob Gleason, RedTail’s president and CEO, “Receiving certification further exemplifies both our strategic commitment to being a Sage Gold Development Partner and to Sage’s product platform and vision. With this certification, our joint customers and partners can be further assured that our products adhere to Sage’s strict product guidelines. Our managed services approach enables us to offer our customers and partners the benefits of a service-based EDI and GDS solution that streamlines trading partner compliance, and at a significantly lower cost.”
