Mac and iPad solutions for Sage 100 Contractor

Now there are several options that permit Macintosh and iPad disciples to enjoy the benefits of using Sage 100 Contractor.  Virtual machines, which are software programs that mimic a Windows PC while actually running on a Mac, were the only viable option for many years. Mac users could run VMWare or Parallels (just to name two choices) on their Mac machine and run Sage 100 Contractor in that Windows shell.  Now however, cloud computing has really opened up Sage 100 Contractor benefits to the Macintosh world.  If a company uses a cloud application server to host its Sage 100 Contractor installation in a Windows environment, Mac users can now run a remote desktop client (available free from Microsoft or client packages from other software developers) to access the program.  Even more exciting, and a benefit to all users of Sage 100 Contractor (Apple or Microsoft), is the availability of remote desktop clients for iPads and Android tablets, so that field personnel can log right into the Cloud server and see everything they might need!
