The original product, EasyBusiness Systems, was developed for the CP/M operating system[6] in 1976 by Don Thomson, Ted Comfoltey, Keith Wales, and Norm Francis of Basic Software Group[7] and distributed by Information Unlimited Software. This was ported to MS-DOS and the IBM-PC in 1983.[7][8]

Computer Associates acquired Information Unlimited Software in 1983[9][10][11] and ran it as an independent business unit.[12][13] Easy Business Systems added payroll processing in 1984 and supported multiuser networking at this time.[14] In 1987, it implemented a multi-window interface to allow moving between different modules.[12] Easy Business Systems was renamed Accpac Plus in 1987 with the release of version 5.[15] Accpac became popular in Canada with support of Canadian public accounting firms that would sell and support the software.[13] The name Accpac is an acronym for 'A Complete and Comprehensive Program for Accounting Control'.[16]

The first Windows version, CA-Accpac/2000, popularly known as ACCPAC for Windows, was developed in the early 1990s and released in October 1994.[17][18] 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).[19][20]

In October 1996 ACCPAC for Windows 2.0 was released.[21] In August 2001, the company presented ACCPAC Advantage Series 5.0, its first web-based version.[22] The web interface was rebuilt in Sage 300 2016 for cross browser support, running on IIS with ASP.Net,[23] a web API was added in the 2017.[24][25]

Sage 300 initially ran on Btrieve Databases[26] and then supported a variety of database backends.[27] Since Sage 300 2016 only the MS SQL database is supported.[26]

Sage Software acquired Accpac from Computer Associates in 2004.[28] Sage renamed it Sage Accpac ERP in 2006,[29] then Sage ERP Accpac in 2009. Sage dropped the Accpac name in 2012 when it was renamed to Sage 300 ERP.[30]

Reception

A 1990 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants member survey found that 8% had ACCPAC installed, in third place for general accounting software behind Peachtree Software (17%) and MAS 90/Evolution (12%); 2% of users would not recommend ACCPAC. In addition, 3% used ACCPAC for client write-up.[31]
