Perspective
The original product, EasyBusiness Systems, was developed for the CP/M operating system[8] in 1976 by Don Thomson, Ted Comfoltey, Keith Wales, and Norm Francis of Basic Software Group[9] and distributed by Information Unlimited Software. This was ported to MS-DOS and the IBM-PC in 1983.[9][10]
Computer Associates acquired Information Unlimited Software in 1983[11][12][13] and ran it as an independent business unit.[14][15] Easy Business Systems added payroll processing in 1984 and supported multiuser networking at this time.[16] In 1987, it implemented a multi-window interface to allow moving between different modules.[14] Easy Business Systems was renamed Accpac Plus in 1987 with the release of version 5.[17] Accpac became popular in Canada with support of Canadian public accounting firms that would sell and support the software.[15] The name Accpac is an acronym for 'A Complete and Comprehensive Program for Accounting Control'.[18]
The first Windows version, CA-Accpac/2000, popularly known as ACCPAC for Windows, was developed in the early 1990s and released in October 1994.[19][20] The Windows version marked the move to client/server and was developed with all new code in COBOL with Computer Associates development tools (these components were redeveloped in 2001 in Accpac Advantage Series with a core business layer developed in C and a user interface layer developed in Visual Basic).[21][22]
In October 1996 ACCPAC for Windows 2.0 was released.[23] In August 2001, the company presented ACCPAC Advantage Series 5.0, its first web-based version.[24] The web interface was rebuilt in Sage 300 2016 for cross browser support, running on IIS with ASP.Net,[25] a web API was added in the 2017.[26][27]
Sage 300 initially ran on Btrieve Databases[28] and then supported a variety of database backends.[29] Since Sage 300 2016 only the MS SQL database is supported.[28]
Sage Software acquired Accpac from Computer Associates in 2004.[30] Sage renamed it Sage Accpac ERP in 2006,[31] then Sage ERP Accpac in 2009. Sage dropped the Accpac name in 2012 when it was renamed to Sage 300 ERP.[32]
