I think that one of the most impressive features of the latest version of Sage is the capacity to automatically email out invoices and statements. It saves so much TIME and MONEY. However, I do find it a pain that I have to double click each email from my “Outbox” to ensure it actually sends. But, being “old fashioned” I actually kind of liked the fact that you have the chance to double check everything before it is sent. So there I was happy working away and everything was good. Then one of my colleagues explained that I was using the email system incorrectly for the last 3 years. Arghhhhh.

Sage Line 50 new features
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. We would be happy to recommend that all Sage users upgrade to the latest version at this stage. After using Version 2012 for a few weeks we find that the best feature is the simple printing of Invoices. You can now select a preferred layout and save this. Then when you want to print you just hit this short cut and out it comes! No more scrolling through different layouts to get your preferred option. We were also reminded of another printing option. At month end you might have to print off a few reports – Stock Value, P&L Account, Trial Balance, Debtors [...]
Sage Version 2012 well worth the wait
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.

We have always said this was not possible. At last this is now available in Version 2012. Now that it is available I am sure we will not get any customers looking for this feature!!! 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
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!!
