Best Mid-market & Enterprise Accounting Software | Software Awards 2020 shortlist
byThe cloud accounting revolution reached the mid-market during 2019-20, with cloud developers dominating the shortlist for the 2020 enterprise accounting software award.
Cloud accounting took longer to catch on among larger businesses, but that gap is rapidly closing. Nearly three-quarters of the ratings in this year’s mid-market accounting survey went to cloud suppliers.
The final cut pits three of them against the leading client/server developers in this category. The full 2020 shortlist includes:
-
AccountsIQ
-
iplicit
-
Pegasus Opera 3
-
Sage 50cloud accounts
-
Xledger
Originally designed for small businesses, Sage 50cloud Accounts has become a mid-market product by default as customer businesses expanded and customised their Sage installations along the way. That makes them much harder to replace outright with a cloud solution. The same goes for Pegasus Opera 3, the other main stalwart in this category for many, many years.
AccountsIQ is now a familiar name in mid-market accounting circles, having won Accounting Excellence software awards for this category in 2018 and 2019. Xledger has taken a while to register a significant UK base for its cloud-based ERP suite, but this year marks a breakthrough.
By contrast, iplict only started marketing its program at the beginning of 2019, so making it through to the 2020 is a remarkable achievement.
Can AccountsIQ repeat its success in this category for the third consecutive year? Come back on Wednesday, 2 December 2020 when we announce the winner of this year's Mid-market & Enterprise Accounting Software of the Year Award.
