Sage 50 - 2013
Sage does also benefit from the Developers who's add-in application further extend the Sage 50 functionality.
I often get asked how big or small does a company have to be to use Sage. "Well.." I say, the biggest small client I have using it has a turnover of £80m. Its more about what you want it to do and how you achieve that, rather than a one size fits all.
Getting the right help in configuration and training also makes a huge benefit to the end user. Furthermore if software cant do what you want it to do, find an add-in, ask a developer. We look to push the possibilities - Our Analyser and Organiser packages offer the Sage user the ability to...
Scan an invoice and assign it to a transaction, customers, supplier, nominal, bank etc. then from Sage or from Excel management reports you can drill down to the detailed numbers and also see the invoices, without opening a folder. Nothing unique I know however aimed at the Sage 50 market this is a powerful addin for the busy company.
We work with many hundreds of clients, many of whom are Accountants and our aim is to make their lives easier.
Sage is an amazing package which can do so very much if only you know how.
Core Sage + Add-Ins
Excellent advice. It is rare that a "one-size-fits-all-and-does-all" comprehensive financial software package works properly without a lot late nights, furrowed brows and the odd flare up plus a lot of money. The Sage Authorised Add-In Programme provides an excellent starting point to look for specific add-in features to bolt on to the core, pretty bomb-proof Sage Line 50 software. In addition, if the closest-fit, add-in feature needs a tweak it is better to ask the developer for thoughts than to trawl through all in one, best fit, mini-enterpise solutions. The deal-closer should also involve the level and quality of customer support thatis on offer and Sage provides some of the best anywhere.
Sage 2013
They have also updated the year end process on sage so you are no longer left looking at a blank screen thinking what is going on. the speed on this and the previous version is a vast improvement, looks like customer feedback does work with Sage.
Maybe not so amazing ..

We restore data on to our system from lots of our clients and since we upgraded to 2013 it's noticable how much longer it takes to upgrade the data. No matter what I've tried anything but the smallest amount of data seems to take hours to move up from 2012 to 2013..

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it.
Sage is archaic, cumbersome and based on a database model that's 30 years old. No matter how much they jump on the modern bandwagon with uploading of documents or plugging add ins, the core product is way out of date.
It's truly amazing that anybody puts up with it
