You may need to change the VAT rates in your Sage accounts. Changing the VAT rates from 21% to 23% is a relatively easy thing to do in Sage.

Sage Line 50 new features

By on November 9, 2011 in General

Sage Line 50 Release 2012 (VER 18) has now been given its second update. At this stage most if not all of the bugs have been addressed.

Sage Version 2012 well worth the wait

By on October 14, 2011 in General

We have installed Sage Version 2012 on our own system now with the first Update. We are expecting some more updates so we would advise our clients to not install Version 18 yet.

I have to admit that we are disappointed in the Option to submit the VAT details on line. We were lead to believe that you would be able to press a [...]

Microsoft Office 365 released in Ireland

By on July 9, 2011 in General

Microsoft Office 365 has at last been released in Ireland. For the last 18 months we have been using and selling the original product called BPOS. We were a little nervous of the upgraded product but delighted to say that it is a far better product…..Especially the Web Access part. Whether you are accessing Outlook from your Desk or Via the Web…it looks exactly the same product. We just installed Office 365 for a client over a weekend. We never told the staff of the change….on Monday morning not one call from the users! Fantastic…they were not aware of the change yet all backoffice roles are now secure with far less traffic on the Server which will save the company money! Job Well Done!!
